The problem is the user experience. An anonymous user browsing e.g. SANDBOX can 
click "CREATE NEW ISSUE" and JIRA offers then a list of unrelated projects. In 
Bugzilla you could enter your bug report and you were requested to login 
committing the issue. But here the usder is stuck and does not know, why he 
suddenly does not find the project any longer. Not a single hint, that he must 
register.
