I disagree with "and affect at least a few different adapters"  ... if
it is just one GPU that a lot of people use it should be sufficent to
be a blocker (common laptop model, an APU or ironlake / ivy / snb gpu
as those are part of the CPU and thus likely have a large userbase).

So if it is a single but commonly used GPU (large userbase) it should
be no different than a bug that affects 3 GPUs that has a userbase as
large as the other one.
