@Aidan-Oxley Sort of. Most forums exist for reasons relating to conversational discussion of ideas and specific subjects. It's right there in the name: "forum". It's kind of what the word means.
The problem with using a forum for a "Known Issues" repository, without a specific thread, is that everyone coming to the app needs to know what issues they're looking for... when they DO NOT KNOW what are the KNOWN issues, so are unable to search for them.
If they are new user, this is made worse because they don't have the lexicon of the app, either. So even if they might know about something they want to do, and want to check if there's any problems before making an effort, they might not know how to search for it.
Which leads to the most significant point: The entire purpose of a Known Issues LIST is to put everything into one space/place in a manner that's easily digestible and can save new and intrepid users from wasting time trying to do things that are impossible, and to help them find a path to completion before they venture off.
I realise consideration of new users is not something at the top of your list of things to think about. That's fine.
