I love good bug reports. They help fix issues. Details & how and why something is wrong will lead to correct fixes. (Well, mostly! It relies on having free time to implement the fixes, hey!)

I love the idea of all of this being automated, but it relies on more work initially to refine to tools to make them correct. Then the idea of having modules being built simply from a commit is rather cool :)

My 1.5 cents. :)
