That is a _useful_ bug report in itself. Though if you want maximum stability you should not be running a -ac patch.

If people don't report problems then people can only conclude that the kernel is perfect. If people report bugs and expect rapid fixes to every bug they've forgotten by pick a vendor of their choice and buy a support contract.
Silence is also not "nothing occuring", often its combinations of reports that resolve a bug. One cases of "my computer crashed doing XYZ" may not help but 5 of them all with the same hardware do
