I wouldn't say it's an issue, but it would is in clearly identifying 
that an issue seen in Precise (with the Quantal kernel) but not in 
Quantal on any given day, will be in fact due to the different 
userspace. Otherwise we do need to invest time cross-checking versions. 
So it is not a big issue, but more like something that would be handy.

Thanks for explaining it though
