It is a safe assumption that _someone_ will report it properly.

Even with very conservative estimates (installed user base in the five
digit range, 10% people affected at all, one out of a hundred people
willing to properly report an issue) one ends up with a more then
99.9956% chance that it _will_ happen (assuming uniform distributions
for a cumulative binomial probability to have at least one "success").

That failure rate is an orders of magnitude lower then for not getting a
seat in an airplane if you have a valid ticket, and you do rely on that,
don't you? ;-)
