No, it's a serious question. You distribute Python code, and you're 
worried that your users will modify the source code and then neglect to 
mention it when they report bugs which they introduced.

Before you build an elephant-proof fence around your house, it is quite 
reasonable to ask whether or not there are actually elephants in your 
neighbourhood.
