So he sends you an email talking about "bug 12" and you look at "bug 12" and see a completely different ticket. Confusion ensues. The bottom line is that you cannot have sequential numbers without a central authority issuing those numbers. And the whole idea behind a *distributed* system is that there is no central authority. There are advantages and disadvantages to being distributed. The lack of sequential numbers is one of the disadvantages. -- D. Richard Hipp d...@sqlite.org
