Yes. Even for casual users looking for help, it’s nice to know that the “issues” tab is just real issues and not random, duplicated complaints and questions. Especially on a project like this that attracts a lot of attention and is highly sensitive to the user’s very specific environment. Most issues are going to not be bugs, or even something the maintainers can work on directly. Instead of trying to cram everything into Issues, why not use the underutilized Discussions tool? Now the Issues list is much more useful as an active tracker of workable items, and as a historical reference of relatively deduped problems.
