Agreed, that's a pretty awful idea.  It's hard enough to get accurate
version information, even without creating an incentive for people to
lie.  Moreover, of those that are too honest to do that, a lot would
simply never file a report; thus keeping us from hearing about a problem
that might well still exist.
