Ok, I've cc'd this to the bug list.

No, we generally don't care about the context.  In fact, for most
bugs a programmer will need to create a minimal example anyway.
Since we have far more users wanting to report bugs than
programmers, I feel entirely justified in asking users to create
minimal examples to begin with.

I see that I forgot to add this reason to the "Tiny examples"
page, so I'll do that now.
