Personally I would like to see bug reports.  I don't mind wading through 
those that don't apply to the compilers I don't use if I can run into some
for the compilers that I *do* care about.

Perhaps if everyone who writes a bug report would start the subject line
with "BUG REPORT:" and then the machine name, those who don't want to
read them could add "BUG REPORT" to their kill files...
