The best way to handle problems is to report them in as much detail as
possible and/or work to resolve them (patch/test/debug). The ways
that you mention above to handle the problems are "work-arounds". If
possible, it's best to avoid this situation and just fix the problems
instead. Hopefully, that makes everyone feel happy. ;-)
