I'm hoping it's not "ended".

IOW, I really don't think we _resolved_ anything, although the work that Adrian started is continuing through the wiki and other people trying to track regressions, and that was obviously something good.

But I don't think we really know where we want to take this thing in the long run. I think everybody wants a better bug-tracking system, but whether something that makes people satisfied can even be built is open. It sure doesn't seem to exist right now ;)

I know you hate bugzilla ... but at least I can try to make that bit
of the process work better.

The new version just rolled out does have a simple "regression" checkbox
(and you can search on it), which will hopefully help people keep track
of the ones already in bugzilla more easily.

Thanks to Jon T, Dave J et al. for helping to figure out methods and
implement them.
