Not so sure.
The tree is really useful because it means that end users can assign bugs to the top-level node for a project and the project members can move it to the correct subnode. This can even happen in two triage stages for large projects. > Guido> There are also more "bug states" you can use to track progress of > Guido> a bug through the system: unassigned, assigned, accepted (meaning > Guido> the assignee is actually working on it).

Items don't automatically end up on a hot list; they must explicitly be put on one. I'm not sure how you'd simulate this via saved searches. Maybe a combination of a custom keyword *and* a saved search would help. However this doesn't scale so well, because keywords show up in everybody's UI. Hot lists are only visible to users who care to subscribe to them. [Georg, in a later post] > Doesn't this match Roundup's keywords?
