Who is "normal", "ordinary" user? Remembers me an election campaign in Czech 
rep right now. I hope I'm not that one "ordinary man" as targeted by one party

The typo issue was only example, even "ordinary" (I don't like it) users could 
fill bug report that there's possibility to fix it in Rawhide only. Not 
everything can be backported etc...
