I'm not a fan of the bug tool kit either. When analyzing 2 or 3 possible version yeilds 4,000+ hits per version it becomes an excercise in camping out for several days of reading. But what really aggrevates me is when you speak of these frustrations to the account team they try to sell you Advanced Services. It seems to me there is something fundamentally flawed when I have to pay an extra (and extremely high) price to have a Cisco AS person scrub their code versions for me.
