Isn't there a lock-in problem? The business model being much the same as 
Microsoft, they own your data, even if you can download it it's in  a 
nonstandard format and can't be taken elsewhere if they suck? So it would be 
better to get free (or paid) hosting for a standard open source bug tracker, 
such as MANTIS or Trac?
