RHEL bugs are frequently created as clones of Fedora bugs, and whoever
cloned the bug forgets to clean up behind them. For instance, if you
clone a Fedora bug which blocks F14Blocker to RHEL and forget to clean
up, we wind up with a RHEL bug 'blocking' the Fedora 14 release.

Often clones also leave the CC list intact, meaning a bunch of Fedora
users are suddenly CCed on a high-traffic RHEL bug.
