Personally I completely disagree with your priorities. I think a bug report is far more valuable, since people can act on bug reports and make things better, while I would not anticipate any meaningful action as a result of speculation about mission statements.
That makes me wonder why the Chromium bugtracker appears to effectively be a black hole, if the bug reports are so "valuable". I don't think I've ever gotten a single response to my CSS calculation bug report.
