This is fine most of the time, but occasionally a situation such as this
arises where testing says "because it has bugs" and the BTS says "what
bugs?", where it is useful to know. For example, if it became necessary to
back out changes which had since entered unstable, and fix only the bug(s)
that made it unsuitable for release, it would be necessary to know which
bugs those were.
This seems like a good bit to add to
