I find them a nuisance, but they are not my major concern.  Much more 
important are things like triagers setting synch requests or FFe's to 
confirmed because they can confirm the problem exists.  Those actually impact 
workflow and you need to look in the history to see who changed it to find 
out if it's right or wrong if no one comments.  During Hardy this seemed to 
me to be unreasonably common for FFe's and I remember some for sync requests 
too.
