<Sigh> What do you guys use for a wrapping setting? I think I'm at
about 70 or so.

Anyway, OK, I agree with what you say above. If we replace an entire
sub-system like composer and as a side effect fix a bunch of bugs,
that is OK and desireable. Existing process Re-engineering with a superior
outcome is good. What I think is not OK is to go out and say implement the
getting of mail via HTTP which is a functionality which is clearly not
there now even slightly. Does that make sense?

Absolutely agree. I have gone through my mini-tree and sorted out
which are clearly asking for new, not currently existing
functionality. My next task is to look at what is left and try to
divide the bugs into sub systems where possible allong the lines of
the current component breakdown in the buglist.

To me, it makes good sense to fix one sub system at a time as much as
possible. Yes, I know there is some overlap between all components but
I think you know what I mean. I know also you have said in another
message that you have a bunch of other priorities till mid July so I
shall look for small stuff for now and leave "Replace XXXX" type stuff
for later. Fixing lots of small bugs closes just as many bug reports
as REPLACE XXX does for it's relevant bugs.
