The bonuses I see for another bugzilla is that it would allow for better/faster integration with other organizations bugzilla's. The amount of making sure that this doesn't break Red Hat business continuity can grind things into low gear for a project that likes to have things up in a beta form by end of the week, and ready for production by the end of the month. The lower cost to Red Hat would be less needs on a team that needs to focus on paying products versus what time they have for something. -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- CSIRT/Linux System Administrator How far that little candle throws his beams!
