I'm not sure if this is true or not, but in the comment history isn't there a new feature that also shows all modifications to the bug? That's one of my largest complaints with bugzilla to date.
I went through the standard workflow of "i edited a bug and then while looking at the new bug accidentally clicked on another page and when i hit back it reposts", that is all pretty much the same, except when you get the "mid air collision" page and click on the bug number it has you viewing that bug in the old series of bugs you searched for, much nicer.
Haven't had a chance to go deep in to the xml-rpc interface but it sounds promising. Maybe over the weekend I'll write some more bot code and see what it can do.
Everything seems a lot faster but I'm not sure if that's because nobody is using or it's on a different box or what.
It's definitely an improvement over what we have. (insert comment about trac being even more awesome)

An upgrade to Bugzilla 3.0 is being considered for the OSAF bug tracker; you can see a testing installation here:http://testzilla.osafoundation.org/We'd appreciate it if people would try and test this demo instance. We haven't yet found any technical problems that would block us from updating, but it's hard to know without banging on some bits.This demo is *not* tied with the old system; you can make changes here and they will not affect our live bugzilla (and vice versa), but all data has been ported the way it will be when/if we finally move over.So make changes and try all the features. Please comment (here or privately) with any feedback you have, positive or negative. This isn't the final word on OSAF's bug tracking system, but we'd like feedback to help determine whether we update or not.We have three primary goals that we think Bugzilla 3.0 may help us address; here's a list with how BZ3 might help us* Usability - BZ3 has updated the standard pages and forms - BZ3 has a lot of functional improvements; check the release notes * Performance - BZ3 has a persistent application mode instead of just CGI - Note: the test instance hasn't been configured to use that yet * Automation - BZ3 supports an XML-RPC interface out of the boxThere's a lot of changes; too many to list. But here's a guess as to the most interesting ones for us.* Can set attachments and flags when filing new bugs * UTF-8 support * "Zooming" comment field * Shared saved searches * mod_perl support for faster web pages especially under load * XML-RPC interface -- Jared _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Open Source Applications Foundation "General" mailing list http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/general
