Comment 16 for bug 1283589

@tkedwards
Only that rule was made to prevent multiple bugs being cluttered together in one bug report, not to be taken literally as a means of filling the bug system with hundreds of useless duplicates, and I quote:
"Don't amalgamate every issue and hardware you find a problem in after an update... Instead, do a separate report for each distinct issue, on each hardware. This is how different hardware can have similar problematic symptoms (ex. computer won't boot), but different root causes, and patches that fix the different causes."
Obviously this doesn't mean that every affected user should file a separate report for a common problem - otherwise what's the point of having the "this affects me too" on the top.
