Indeed. Gerbil was doing great work on pointing people somewhere else, but
the luser-generated stress seems to have got to him recently ;-)
 
The thing is, people who answer NS6 questions think they are being

Indeed. It should do. The changes to allow bug import and export from and
to Bugzilla were made because distributors of Mozilla-based distributions
could then host their own Bugzillas and move bugs back and forth as
