The kernel does not use bugzilla for features, it almost doesn't use
bugzilla at all even for bugs.

bugzilla does not work well for features at all.  It can not track them
across different products, can not handle threaded responses, and can
not handle the different roles that people play when involved in the
feature review and acceptance process.

That is why FATE was created and why it is used, it is so much better
than bugzilla for this task.

bugzilla just does not work well for feature requests.

thanks,
