I didn't say it was easy.

No sir, the tester is not only a tester, he is a user too. If the
tester has something to say and writes a bug report through the bug
channels he is a normal user, is he not?

Objection! If you distribute software that can cause some sort of
problems on the target system it should be reported to you because it
is your decision to distribute it. And you should then consider
reporting it upstream or stopping using that software or whatever else
is appropriate.

Thank you for your argument. I don't like it but that's not your
problem.
