Unless you're setting the new Triaged flag, I don't see how it violates
that rule. But we're getting ahead of ourselves, we haven't even decided
what changes we want to *ask* for yet. We should probably discuss this
at the next meeting.

Bugs without sufficient information have not been triaged. Ensuring
sufficient information is present in the report is one of the most
important parts of triage.
