Seems you talk about https://tracker.pureos.net/T519 - and that you 
today filed a duplicate of https://tracker.pureos.net/T273

I am not convinced that a policy helps triage issues, but perhaps I am 
simply not imaginative enough and it could help if you elaborate on what 
you think such policy might contain?

As pointed out above I don't share your view for the whole paragraph - 
but if you refer only to the previous sentence then I agree (and wonder 
which other views are reasonable).

Thanks for initiating this discussion,
