Upgrading to 16.04 can render the system permanently broken

If you search for bugs in Ubuntu, the only settings Launchpad will take 
into account are those in the package itself.

The settings in the papercuts project will only affect searches done at 
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/One%20Hundred%20Papercuts).

Cleaning up reports from older releases will not affect the quality of 
papercuts searches. As the search criteria is already built in the wiki, 
and upgraded after every Ubuntu release.

So the point of the conversation is this: a process is as correct as it 
eases a goal. If a piece of work eases nothing, or it eases little 
expending high loads of work, then it is waste.
