Here's what I envision: A new rhythmbox is released and pushed out to the masses. It incorporates a new feature called crazy jukebox where it makes all your windows wobble to the music (please don't code this!). The developer is so excited about this new capability that it is pushed out the door and enabled by default.
Joe User sees a new rhythmbox and selects update. He wants to listen to music--BAM rhythmbox crashes (presumably because either wobbly windows is not enabled or compiz is not running). Crash dialog comes up presenting 3 options: Quick Bug Report, Detailed Bug Report, Quit. The Quick Bug server gets hammered with reports of rhythmbox crashes. Server is set to send email notice to developer after 5 hits in the past hour--automatic triage. Quick Bug reporter has no expectation of getting email notices of bug fix progress. Developer digs the crud out of his eyes the next morning and sees some detailed bug reports from irate users and a warning email from the Quick Bug server. Something is up with the new version. A quick read of the bug reports: Work around: Turn Off Crazy Jukebox! Developer quickly sees that this new rhythmbox capability interferes with several use cases: older machines without compiz, headless machines, machines with compiz but with wobbly turned off, etc . . . Developer makes changes adds a glx check, turns off crazy jukebox by default and adds a warning dialog when it is activated. New release is submitted to Q/A. Q/A is busy and new rhythmbox is at the bottom of the stack. Quick Bug server sends an email to Q/A when reports exceed 20 during the past hour. Whoa, better look at rhythmbox. Patches submitted, need to perform test suite on rhythmbox (or whatever Q/A does) then push the release. Q/A runs a Quick Bug report on rhythmbox to see that the growing mountain of bug reports is dropping quickly.
