Not really, I was addressing your comment about IssueZilla that Collabnet uses (Tigris is of Collabnet).
Yeah, that was Harmeet's comment actually.

As for Scarab, it will most probably be usde because Pier, the Bugzilla guy, is more than fed up with admininstring Bugzilla, and will change as soon as he can to a better system. AFAIK there is no other OS bug tracking system other than Scarab...
I can definitely sympathize with Pier. When I mentioned JIRA to him privately, he sounded pretty stressed in general from dealing with this. :)

OpenSymphony is a smaller but similar high-quality Java open source project
depot (similar to Jakarta), and I think the affiliated business (Atlassian)
has produced something a lot better than Scarab in JIRA.

It's not OS, and some have espressed that they would feel more than uneasy to use it for all Apache.
Yeah, there's a lesson here in how to make a profit on top of the open source market... CollabNet is doing something very similar to Atlassian in that CollabNet has proprietary extensions that they will use to have a sellable version of Scarab. Meanwhile, Atlassian didn't open source the core but justs licenses it for open source use for free... just interesting to see how the different strategies are playing out.
