This was also my experience, around February of this year.

I have not observed an increase in bugs relating to mail configuration

or requests for help to configure mail or frustration regarding the

current default.

Perhaps they weren't able to report the bug?  :-)

You laugh, but I saw this pretty frequently when I last looked;

root's mbox was filled with errors, bounces, and bug reports.  At 

the time, I was maintaining up-to-date emacs for a large distributed

infrastructure (MIT), so I cared when I found `lost' bug reports

stuck in never-read location.
