However, I also know that in a business RHEL is choosing not to use Bugzilla for future versions of RHEL. I need to be clear in wording there, because Red Hat is a company, RHEL is one of its products, and we're only talking about newer versions of that product. I am not aware of any plans for Red Hat to drop Bugzilla. I am aware of plans for newer versions of RHEL to no longer use Bugzilla. > sometimes reaching such a consensus is everything but easy.

I have no idea, to be honest. There's a lot of assumption in that statement and it certainly could be an outcome, but I'm not aware of any plans towards that directly. > That could obviously have pretty significant consequences for Fedora. > Bugzilla isn't only an issue tracker for Fedora; we run some > significant processes through it, notably the Change process, the > blocker/FE bug process, and the prioritized bug process.

Fedora and RHEL process and tooling has deviated significantly over the years. So much so that by the time I joined the RHEL team, it was already very different. That was almost 5 years ago, which means the individual decisions that led to it were even earlier. I don't really want to revisit those decisions because I wasn't around and can't speak to why they were made, but the connection between Fedora and RHEL via bugzilla is minimal at best. The commonality that brings the most shared benefit is the activities of our communities, the quality and rigor they bring into Fedora, and the sources we share. Tooling and process are orthogonal to those. Important, because they certainly lend themselves to aiding that quality and rigo

Short term it is the path of the least resistance, but at least what I've heard from $dayjob, maintaining a Bugzilla instance is no easy task, as they are often customized (via non-upstream patches) and this all needs to be maintained. I cannot speak for our infra team, but I really don't know if they'd like yet another huge service, because this effectively means they'd have to take over maintenance of bugzilla.redhat.com... > > This does also kinda lead to a larger question for me, trying to wear > both Red Hat and Fedora hats at the same time[0].

I think it would have been nice if the tooling discussion happened before RH decided to drop Bugzilla so that we can all use a common tooling. However, I also know that in a business sometimes reaching such a consensus is everything but easy. It would have been nice if someone at least tried though.

Would you be able to expand on why Red Hat chose to use Jira specifically here, and what benefits do you forsee this switch will bring to CentOS down the road?
