Definitely, please don't mind me challenging any need(s) either ;-) In 
some cases, its hard to get the really corner cases into a public 
distribution, just in terms of code manageability. But, you own your 
copies after all.

Yes, this will be interesting, lets just assume the more difficult case 
where you end up with a local copy. First, as long as separate bugzilla 
entries are made for every bug/enhancement, we can track each outcome 
separately. Then, I think you can create a local branch in SVN, using a WC 
to WC copy (not sure). Finally, there are probably some good three-way 
diff/merge tools out there.
