So.. a filter.

I didn't claim it is a perfect filter. I did claim it is _a_ filter and one may subjectively decide it is a better choice than trying to track an ocean of issues which, if you're someone the size of Mozilla, will be a vast majority of "It crashed" useless issues anyway.

_If_ something is that important, it will come up again and closed issues can be referenced. Again, no claim that this is perfect from me.
