Thank you for testing the new Datatracker. You have uncovered several bugs, and they have all been fixed.
We still want to achieve a nearly unnoticeable change-over, so please make sure the Datatracker fully supports the way that you use the current Datatracker. Unless a significant bug is discovered in the next few days, we plan to transition to the new database schema this coming weekend.
