What exactly do you mean by support? I could use Windows, and I'd have support, but I choose not to, and I run linux without support.

I'm not convinced it it "the" ASF bug tracking system. Each project is permitted to choose as they wish (ASF has Bugzilla, Jira and Scarab available). > So, I'm +0.9 on leaving BZ where it currently is.

I'm not really sure what you mean by taking over administration of it -- lots of projects currently use it. Although httpd, for example, is moving to Scarab. Does anyone know anything about Scarab? > I'm +0.5 on going to Jira.
