Fate is far from an open vote. It's the basis to discuss pros and cons of features, something that has no place in bugzilla.
On the one aka SUSE side you're right but on the other OSS side wrong. FATE is yet another demonstration of a development decission made several years ago when it had been close to impossible to implement the same inside bugzilla. If I get it right this changed. Now it is possible to store arbitrary state information like "needinfo" without special patches and hacks in bugzilla. I would appreciate if all the information is stored at one place. No more "this is a feature and not a bug" and no more "this is a bug and not a feature" replies. Yes, it's possible from inside fate to reference bug IDs. Do we have the same feature available from inside bugzilla? Do we need to maintain two infrastructures? How are other OOS companies doing this? RedHat uses Bugzilla for both. Let us drop bugzilla and use fate for both. ;) Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
