I've sometimes seen bug reports be answered with workaround while awaiting a fix. I think I've seen that here on Codidact (though I haven't gone looking for examples). I know I saw it sometimes on Some Other site. I don't know how important it is, but it's something we would lose if we made this change. We can't currently tie post types to tags, so this would be a *convention* of using the article post type when reporting bugs but not something we could enforce through the system. This means there'll be a learning curve and some mis-fires. Available post types are tied to the category. If we kept bug reports here in the main Q&A category and wanted people to use articles for them, then asking a question here would require explicitly choosing a post type (question or article) each time. (When there's only one type of top-level post the software doesn't ask because you only have one choice.) This could be mitigated by creating a separate category for bug reports; I don't know if that segregation would be a good thing or a bad thing. We probably need a better approach to bug reports than what we have now, but I don't know what that is. Suggestions welcome!
