I understand that the original rationale was that the most frequently reported bugs would be the most likely to be the same as yours. But in practice it doesn't seem to work out that way -- or at least, much less often than the similar-reports list.

Besides removing the list, there are other ways it could be improved.
1. Reduce its length.
2. Consider only bugs that were reported in the past month.
3. Merge the two lists such that bugs with many duplicates automatically get ranked higher. Where d is the number of duplicates a bug report has, multiply that report's keyword-based relevance by ln(d + 2) to get the final weight.
