When someone asks for a quick convenient choice and instead
is given a slow, inconvenient workaround that accomplishes
pretty much the same thing, how else can you interpret it?
Bad advice. Not a TCO discussion.
You may measure the cost in time or money, depending on
whether you do it yourself or not. But since it isn't actually
impossible to complete the installation it isn't really
a bug.
In that case it might a RFE or if you want to be even more proactive, a
way to file a patch. Bugzilla allows room for all these so we dont need
to confine ourselves to just reporting bugs.
