Hi all, This will be a short message because I have to leave, but wanted to write this before anyone else "MBR's". To make things easier I'll use the php4 and php5 packages as an example.
As almost everyone knows, php4 is already gone in unstable and testing, being replaced by php5. Continuing with the current mass bug closing "momentum" some people have started to mass bug reassign bugs in php4 to php5, and one could say it is all right, although it is *not*. When using the reassign command, all the package versions information is lost, which makes it a little bit hard to organise and to use the 'dist' BTS parameter, which is often used to just display the bugs affecting unstable. So I'd be delighted if a procedure is written to prevent this kind of information lose, and to decide _when_ to MBR, or even try to contact the package maintainers before doing it.
