AFAICT these are all bikeshed painting arguments, not technical arguments.  
I was initially opposed to having --bisect-all, wanting to have 
--bisect-dunno <ref>...

But in the end, the people doing the work decide, and therefore I am fine 
with --bisect-all, especially since it seems clean enough for me.

As for all those "dunno is no English"...  I'd first merge the technical 
part (i.e. what you have now in pu), and then let the discussion about 
which synonyms to choose continue, until a consensus is formed about other 
names (if there is a consensus at all!).

IMHO there is no reason to hold of the fine work of Christian, just 
because there are non-technical arguments still in the air.

I want bisect dunno.  Even if there is another name later.

Ciao,
