That is not the problem. If I read a crappy bug description and then 
contact someone with access to internal cisco systems, the internal 
description is *much* better. The information is there, it's just not 
published to customers.

5-10 years ago it was possible to do bug scrubs based on information on 
CCO. This is no longer possible, now one needs to pay advanced services 
for their NOS service to be able to do it, just because the customer 
accessable information just isn't complete enough.
