I quite agree... And I hate the idea of having the data spread across systems (which I also disliked in MozReview, which I tried and it ended up being really bad for some aspects of my ability to land patches). >Also, I have to say the whole phabricator thing has been kind of presented >as a fait accompli.

This while sequence strikes me as "Let's launch our new boat, and oh by the way we're going to sink the old boat(s) so no one is tempted to not move to the new boat. And, BTW, we're leaving behind some important things, and we'll think about how we can deal with those sometime, maybe before we launch, maybe later, maybe never." While this may force people onto the new boat, I'm seriously unconvinced this will be better in the short term, or that it won't end up slowing down N*100 developers, either for a while or permanently. And the lack of transparency in developing this plan is also very concerning.
