That would be pretty time consuming to do an across the board audit. I
think the thing is Mozilla is a corporation at the end of the day and not
everyone it hires cares about the manifesto or open source and so working
in the open is not a priority and defaulting to corporate norms is
something that just happens.

I've seen this happen where a employee who just started working in the open
leaves and is replaced by a new hire with a corporate background who
defaults the work that was already being done in the open back to closed.

Anyways to the point of bugs I think their needs to be some criteria for
what should and should not be company-confidential. I think we need a new -
confidential group added as a less restrictive level and with criteria and
go from there.
