Very true. One other thing which might get confusing/frustrating on the
user side is that currently, Linux is the *only* product which requires
the bug reporter to find the fault change (yes, I know, it's scalable).

That's not true, for several regressions I reported to the Wine Bugzilla 
I had been asked to git bisect for the commit that broke it.

And I'd actually assume that it's quite common for git using open source 
projects to ask the user to bisect regressions.
