The point of writing it up for others to learn from is the
deduplication of the effort. Instead of having everyone stare blankly
at arcane messages, they'll recognise it and know what to do. Much like
with stabilisation bugs where (again) untargeted dependencies where
every arch developer individually sits staring blankly (and increasingly
furiously, if that's even possible) at the errors that repoman
unexpectedly spits out.
The point is giving that information saves everyone after you the time
to figure out how to resolve the issue. Thanks!
