I suspect we could put a description of what we do with bug reports  
and how they feed into the testsuite into the manual and the web  
submitting page, and this might alter our legal position, however,  
before doing such a thing, we should clear it with legal to ensure it  
doesn't negatively alter our position.

Personally, I don't feel a change is necessary, but someone does,  
bounce it up to the SC...
