These are actually (for the most part), pretty valid concerns. Lighthouse (the name of the bug tracker) was meant for smaller projects, not large sites. Part of the reason for using XML was to allow you to "deploy and go". I wanted it so you could set up a tracker within 5 minutes and start using it.
An enterprise tracking system would -certainly- make use of a DB. That would only make sense. As for using WDDX. I love WDDX. It works just fine. So there. :P A function for cfthrow: There is a very good reason for this - by defining a Throw() method, I can use the same base Type attribute for all my throw statements. It also lets me do logging if I chose to. I use this technique in almost all of my CFCs now. As for your boss, well, sorry, I can't take the blame for his misconception. It sounds like he is trying to change my nice, reliable Escort into a Dodge Viper. I wouldn't recommend it myself.
