Migration at that time was already done - the site was live. > I'm pretty > sure they would have fixed this later. Later?

At that time, I didn't knew about TDF at all. And Oracle did not either, so this "argument" is not wrong, and not only silly - it speaks for itself :-( But I have been running & maintaining IZBot for years. And it never was used to "leach bug reports". Because of the lack of xml-rpc and lack of interest on CollabNet's side at the time to prevent the xml-export of issues from bringing down the site due to its lousy performance (creating a xml-export of a bug with many comments easily takes longer than 30 seconds), I got a "secret" URL for use with IZBot for this use while regular xml-export was disabled. IZBot has been in use for day-to-day chatting and on special bug-days. http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=89846 > important stuff that needed be fixed.
