I have no idea. I'm not defending the actions of whomever forced the password reset, I'm just trying to explain what I gather their motivation was. Arguing about it on a Fedora list isn't likely to change anything.

What could be discussed here is whether or not the pains we hit here are worth the pains we'd encounter by running our own instance of bugzilla. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
