Seperating the data completely should be a safer position than trying to manage it in one data set. 2) The ability to 'hack' the bug system to meet Fedora needs is limited because it may break Red Hat issues that are covered under various laws and regulations they must follow. Seperating them makes a better business case. 3) Less headaches for Red Hat IS when they have enough on their plate. Now I don't know what the timeline for Bugzilla 3.0 or if that one will have the pump and flow mechanism of being able to link bugs from one bugzilla instance to another (gnome to fedora, fedora to gnome, etc etc) so that duplicates can be handled better... I know that isn't formal business case language.. but would have been good enough in the old days (dag-nabbit) to get a project on the list to be green/red lighted -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- CSIRT/Linux System Administrator How far that little candle throws his beams!
