hm, who does this - i've seen networking folks do it but does anyone
else do it? Such cases are _clear_ abuse of users and they'll do the
obvious thing: vote with their feet.
I only ask people to bisect it when all other avenues fail - and even
then i try to make it clear that bisection is just something they can
_optionally_ do to speed things up (it's never required), and that it's
a pure opt-in.
doing _kernel_ bisection is totally hard at the moment - it disrupts the
user way too much and causes many hours of work for most users. [
Requiring bisection for userspace projects might be more doable. (but
even there's it's wrong when it's not automated completely and where a
failure pattern is not deterministic.) ]
