How clumsy is that? I would have to ask why on earth do this? This
is moving from a pretty sophisticated bug/feature tracking system to
something extremely primitive. What is the benefit in doing this?
None that I can see as far reporting bugs - its just become a lot
more difficult. And for developers, it appears you lose the ability
to filter by category (bug, feature, improvment etc), or look at
priority.<br><p><span style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:8pt; color:#000000;">Notice: This email and any attachments are confidential. If received in error please destroy and immediately notify us.
