While I tend to preach this process when I can, and practice it in
other projects, we have two platforms that still have a significant
amount of remaining work ahead of them. To dump *everything* into the
bug system at this point may be a bit premature as it leads to "bug
slog" where everyone eventually gets demoralized from just fixing bugs
all day, every day, bugs bugs bugs! Nothing on the horizon but more
and more bugs. I've seen it happen on other projects.

I'm not sure when that right point is, but I think we've still got
plenty of "big rocks" on each platform to keep us busy without
everything being a bug. Spreadsheets aren't always 4-letter words, and
they can have pretty colors!!! :-)
