>Since&nbsp;I&nbsp;last&nbsp;posted&nbsp;on&nbsp;this&nbsp;issue,&nbsp;we&nbsp;now&nbsp;have&nbsp;"keywords"&nbsp;that&nbsp;solve<br>
many&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;issues&nbsp;of&nbsp;description&nbsp;and&nbsp;status&nbsp;whiteboard&nbsp;keywords.&nbsp;&nbsp;We<br>
have&nbsp;seen&nbsp;a&nbsp;migration&nbsp;towards&nbsp;keywords,&nbsp;but&nbsp;there&nbsp;is&nbsp;still&nbsp;further&nbsp;to<br>
go.<br>
<br>
Description&nbsp;(&nbsp;+&nbsp;Status&nbsp;Whiteboard&nbsp;)&nbsp;Keywords<br>
--------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
Some&nbsp;description&nbsp;keywords&nbsp;remain.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'd&nbsp;like&nbsp;to&nbsp;hear&nbsp;what&nbsp;reasons,&nbsp;other<br>
than&nbsp;time,&nbsp;there&nbsp;are&nbsp;for&nbsp;these&nbsp;staying&nbsp;as&nbsp;they&nbsp;are.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm&nbsp;suspecting&nbsp;many<br>
are&nbsp;not&nbsp;really&nbsp;being&nbsp;used.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hopefully&nbsp;we&nbsp;can&nbsp;totally&nbsp;remove&nbsp;these<br>
eventually.<br>
<br>
Tracking&nbsp;Bugs<br>
-------------<br>
<br>
When&nbsp;I&nbsp;suggested&nbsp;keywords,&nbsp;I&nbsp;did&nbsp;so&nbsp;to&nbsp;get&nbsp;rid&nbsp;of&nbsp;tracking&nbsp;bugs&nbsp;too,<br>
though&nbsp;we've&nbsp;had&nbsp;less&nbsp;success&nbsp;on&nbsp;that&nbsp;front.<br>
<br>
There&nbsp;are&nbsp;many&nbsp;disadvantages&nbsp;to&nbsp;tracking&nbsp;bugs.<br>
<br>
-&nbsp;They&nbsp;can&nbsp;pollute&nbsp;bugs&nbsp;counts,&nbsp;and&nbsp;you&nbsp;must&nbsp;make&nbsp;sure&nbsp;you&nbsp;exclude<br>
them.&nbsp;&nbsp;I&nbsp;believe&nbsp;the&nbsp;meta&nbsp;keyword&nbsp;might&nbsp;be&nbsp;used&nbsp;for&nbsp;this&nbsp;purpose.<br>
-&nbsp;They&nbsp;have&nbsp;an&nbsp;assignee&nbsp;but&nbsp;there&nbsp;is&nbsp;nothing&nbsp;to&nbsp;fix,&nbsp;and&nbsp;that&nbsp;person&nbsp;can<br>
get&nbsp;whined&nbsp;at&nbsp;by&nbsp;Bugzilla.<br>
-&nbsp;It&nbsp;would&nbsp;be&nbsp;better&nbsp;to&nbsp;craft&nbsp;your&nbsp;own&nbsp;"dependency&nbsp;tree"&nbsp;rather&nbsp;than<br>
rely&nbsp;on&nbsp;a&nbsp;fixed&nbsp;hierachy&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;bug&nbsp;system.<br>
-&nbsp;In&nbsp;creating&nbsp;a&nbsp;nice&nbsp;little&nbsp;hierachy,&nbsp;many&nbsp;bugs&nbsp;duplicate&nbsp;information<br>
that&nbsp;should&nbsp;be&nbsp;available&nbsp;in&nbsp;other&nbsp;ways,&nbsp;eg<br>
"http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12833"&nbsp;which&nbsp;is<br>
about&nbsp;beta&nbsp;1&nbsp;networking&nbsp;issues.&nbsp;&nbsp;These&nbsp;could&nbsp;fall&nbsp;behind&nbsp;the&nbsp;actual<br>
data.&nbsp;&nbsp;What&nbsp;tracking&nbsp;bugs&nbsp;are&nbsp;good&nbsp;for,&nbsp;ad&nbsp;hoc&nbsp;lists,&nbsp;is&nbsp;what&nbsp;keywords<br>
are&nbsp;better&nbsp;for.<br>
-&nbsp;An&nbsp;automatically&nbsp;generated&nbsp;dependency&nbsp;structure&nbsp;between&nbsp;one&nbsp;"tracking<br>
bug"&nbsp;and&nbsp;another&nbsp;would&nbsp;be&nbsp;better&nbsp;than&nbsp;a&nbsp;manual&nbsp;one,&nbsp;since&nbsp;it&nbsp;gives&nbsp;exact<br>
rather&nbsp;than&nbsp;manually&nbsp;set&nbsp;up&nbsp;classifications.<br>
<br>
Probably&nbsp;the&nbsp;only&nbsp;feature&nbsp;preventing&nbsp;tracking&nbsp;bugs&nbsp;being&nbsp;replaced&nbsp;is&nbsp;the<br>
dependency&nbsp;tree.&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;quintessential&nbsp;tracking&nbsp;bug&nbsp;seems&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;bug&nbsp;#7229<br>
"chofmann's&nbsp;watch&nbsp;list",&nbsp;which&nbsp;probably&nbsp;has&nbsp;about&nbsp;a&nbsp;couple&nbsp;of&nbsp;hundred<br>
bugs&nbsp;at&nbsp;various&nbsp;levels,&nbsp;which&nbsp;allows&nbsp;a&nbsp;nice&nbsp;visualisation.<br>
<br>
Before&nbsp;keywords&nbsp;can&nbsp;replace&nbsp;tracking&nbsp;bugs&nbsp;better&nbsp;visualisation&nbsp;is&nbsp;going<br>
to&nbsp;be&nbsp;required.&nbsp;&nbsp;General&nbsp;summary&nbsp;reports&nbsp;and&nbsp;dependency&nbsp;forests&nbsp;of&nbsp;a&nbsp;bug<br>
list&nbsp;("http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12992")&nbsp;could&nbsp;both<br>
help,&nbsp;but&nbsp;neither&nbsp;solves&nbsp;the&nbsp;problem&nbsp;totally.&nbsp;&nbsp;Perhaps&nbsp;keywords&nbsp;within<br>
keywords&nbsp;would&nbsp;help&nbsp;here.&nbsp;&nbsp;In&nbsp;any&nbsp;case,&nbsp;I'm&nbsp;still&nbsp;thinking&nbsp;about&nbsp;this<br>
one.<br>
<br>
Some&nbsp;tracking&nbsp;bugs&nbsp;could&nbsp;definitely&nbsp;be&nbsp;turned&nbsp;into&nbsp;keywords&nbsp;immediately<br>
though,&nbsp;and&nbsp;I'll&nbsp;point&nbsp;the&nbsp;finger&nbsp;at<br>
"http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7954"&nbsp;here&nbsp;since&nbsp;that's<br>
what&nbsp;came&nbsp;to&nbsp;mind&nbsp;first.</P
