This bug is about replicating a reportbug specific feature. In my
opinion most of the time it is not necessary to always collect all
possibly useful information about the reporters system. And in the cases
where the automatically collected information was not sufficient, the
maintainer has always the option to ask for more info.

Rng was by the way not intended to be a 1:1 replacement for reportbug or
just a reportbug-with-GUI.

But nevertheless, I agree that this bug report is worth a read. It
nicely demonstrates how some developers use to argue with others.


Cheers,

Bastian
