> Can you "retire" a feature that is "as designed" and is also a Defect? (and still have it in the product?)
I can answer this one. This is logged as an RFE and not a Defect. Because our internal tracking system will not allow an RFE in "Closed" status mode to be re-opened, we place RFEs that will not be considered in "Retired" status mode for awhile before closing them. This enables us to "re-open" the RFE if circumstances require it instead of having to create a new RFE. It's a slightly mis-leading status, but it's what we had to work with when trying to merge all of the BMC processes together in one tool. -David J.
