To an extent I like it, but it may also rather encourage people to file
bugs against it - it'd be the default selection, and people might just
be lazy and leave it instead of looking through the list. I'd like to
know we have a plan in place to cover the contingency of dozens of bugs
a day being filed against this component, before we do this.
