2.) Should WORKSFORME be banned? It seems that for RHEL, the

answer is never "I tried it and it worked so there's probably not a
bug". The alternative is to push reports back as NEEDINFO until they
are resolved as NOTABUG (if it turns out to be user error) or
CLOSED/RAWHIDE or the bug is isolated with the reporter's help.
Usually these cases are either 1.) there is some local state (user
configuration, hardware, etc.) that is triggering the bug or 2.)
different people are testing different versions. Either way, further
testing can resolve the question.
The way I use WORKSFORME is "the reporter cannot reproduce the bug anymore
and neither can I (or I am the reporter in the first place), but I have no
idea what fixed it".
