I think this doesn't necessarily have to be the case. I think there are lots of hackers and users who will sign up for any reasonable bug tracker as soon as it's introduced. If you want a better treatment for your bug, send it to the tracker, if you want the old-style treatment, send it somewhere else. That doesn't mean that better integration cannot be worked on later, but this illusion that a bug tracker must have magical total awareness of the entire flow of information in the project from day one is an illusion and has blocked this business for too long IMO. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
