There are over 400 in the database.  If that's a small percentage then
so be it, but it's still over 400 bugs that appear to have been ignored.
Having a place to look up possible problems and seeing if there was a
solution seems to be a plus to me, but if you don't want it it doesn't
bother me either way.   The lookups are currently disabled, ball's in
your court.
