I've no problem with it. I use the labels, but can live without them. They tend to multiply like the tags on the site, being added without looking if something already exists that applies. Many of them also have only one or two issues because often people file a ticket without adding *any* label, and the labels that exist on them were added after the fact. -- -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-dev --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "habari-dev" group.
