Hey Jan, I know I didn't announce it properly. It was *my* "fault" but this is also a special case IMO. We decided to migrate just a few hours ago because robbat2 and me having enough time to do it now, finally. We're waiting since about 2007 for Bugzilla upgrades and it's now 2011 so I thought it's ok to do it now instead of waiting another few months (probably) or longer until we both have enough time again etc. We're not going to change the workflow, at least not now. We only do that if you guys decided about it. -- Regards, Christian Ruppert Role: Gentoo Linux developer, Bugzilla administrator and Infrastructure member Fingerprint: EEB1 C341 7C84 B274 6C59 F243 5EAB 0C62 B427 ABC8
