Indeed, this is why popular bug-tracking systems often support
concepts like priority and severity. (The only examples I can think
of off the top of my head are GNATS and Debian's BTS, but there are
probably others.) Even without such support, though, I'd argue that
wishlist-type reports are still useful.
BTW, gotten a chance to deal with the Netscape 3 certificate issues
yet? ;-)
