As he put it in the bugzilla, that's a place for "no brainer" reports of things that are clearly broken or not complete. This particular bug report had requests going back and forth, with some pleading not to change it. Hence, it's not a "no brainer" or "friggen basic" (as you so eloquently put it) bug report, but an issue to discuss and vote on. Think of Brainstorm as a place to consider all the possibilities and chose the best one (or more), and the bugzilla to report broken apps. It doesn't mean that choice of either option won't be the final outcome, but it means we've considered it and it's not just the whim of a few random people. My personal preference is to have auto-pause, so i'll vote on the brainstorm issue and vote on one or more solutions to that effect if you'll set it up. Also, FYI there is a community app to do this right now.
