last hotsos we had a small discussion with someone from Oracle on this
topic. That person acknowledged that yes, it is kinda odd to show the bug
but to hide detail. However he made two points, one, most of the time the
bug details contain proprietary info, i.e. actual code or details about a
feature, references to internal spec documents etc and sometime it exposes
some stupid mistakes in the code.

i have personally seen a few bug reports that contained some pieces of code
from oracle kernel, and internal details. Guess I just got lucky.

But I think overall we might be better off not knowing all the details,
simply because it would keep us sane.

But that is just my opinion.
