I'm not sure I see the utility of ratings, but I think comments can be useful as long as they don't carry over from release to release.

I don't want that comment still hanging around 3 years after I've already fixed the bug. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
