This is just negligent and is concrete proof that Sun buries anything it
touches and has not really became as transparent as their media spinners
want you to think.  Quite pathetic, there's little legal risk with most
the disappearing bugs, and internal members all the same as external
should be able to use the same interface regardless.  Who gets to
comment and change status is up to the developer handling the bug
report, just how many open-source projects employ Trac for that
purpose.  Though Sun has a history of making their employees use crappy
tools to do their work, so go figure.
