The bigger problem is how it is completely unmanaged. There's no 
one that reviews the reported issues and sets a severity level. 
That's all set by whoever makes the report. I've come across a 
few issues that are solved, either that they always worked and 
were never really issues. Or they were inadvertently fixed by 
something else. There's also a lot of easy issues that aren't 
flagged as easy to fix cause no one is reviewing them, and the 
person that reports them may not know. This all creates noise for 
issues being resolved. People looking for issues will find them, 
it not a good enough excuse. It basically translates to, this 
list is only for people that have the time to waste looking 
through an unmanaged mess.
