I'm loyal to Apple to a degree that would get my US visa canceled if it actually were a religion, but even I must say that I don't feel like participating in anything like the process you're describing. I feel developers should actually boycott radar at this point. It's not just that the process you're describing involves an inordinate amount of my time for something that is at least as valuable to Apple as it is to me, only because the richest software company in history can't get its system to parity with github issues or – may Steve have mercy on my soul – bugzilla.

It's also that the whole process seems to be engineered to belittle the user who apparently isn't worthy of being informed of anything. Reported a bug in an API? Well, how about trying it after every release, or writing a test for it? Because you surly don't expect your tiny mind to warrant a one-liner or ticket change when we fix it?

JK! We actually have no intention to fix it. But you do enter the sweepstakes for the "One More Thing That Doesn't Work" award at WWDC for every year that your bug remains open.
