The solution to a bug being a feature addition does not make the bug not
be a bug. Just making the screen rotation less sensitive, and disabling
the vibration feedback for every little thing that ever happens, will be
a huge improvement, even without any user visible setting to alter it.

Even missing features are bugs. "Unable to do foo" is a bug, not a
feature request, and in some cases, can be a serious usability issue.

That said, please file bug reports in the form of describing the
problem, not what you think the solution should be. "Screen rotation too
sensitive" is the problem, and "Add screen rotation settings" is only
one of many possible solutions to the issue. Bug reports should not be
trying to tell the developer what to do, but tell them what is wrong. So
please file reports in the former form.
