Adam,
updated fixes are applied daily in the kernel, so asking you to test an issue that you reported is not superfluous. It is in fact a major help to those who are actively trying to get fixes for a vast amount of hardware included in the kernel. It is also the method I am forced to use to determine if there has been a regression in code that may have been included in a previous update. I am sorry if this request impacts you, but the request was for the bug reporter.
