the "expected behavior" "actual behavior" of bugzilla is in the right 
direction, but again bugzilla isn't really helpful for this.

what would be needed is recording the discrepancies between expected and 
actual behaviors, but with a sample big enough. unfortunately i sense that 
relying on any kind of online poll/report tool it automatically skews the 
data. (preselects the passionate minority vs the casual users mayority)

in the end evolving very slowly and organically as plasma did for the 4.x 
series (correcting small bits tryuing in different ways from one revision to 
another, for instance greyed out vs translucent of this particular case) tends 
to give pretty good results not having big data samples
