I've made a number of edits, based on private feedback and the
on-alias responses. Clarifications:
1. My operational concern about access to the entire database was
specifically about not having a multi-gigabyte download. Nothing
else should be read into that point.
2. The relationship between the development branch and the
maintenance branches of any particular consolidation does not seem
well understood. It seems premature to conclude that a multiple
release relationship belongs in the community DTS, versus a
distribution's annotations. We can come back to this, perhaps as
some of the candidate evaluations proceed.
3. It's pretty much reality that it's going to take Sun time to
transition from one DTS to another; I would expect Sun is
obligated to develop tools of the kind Alan C meant, but I don't
believe that a Phase 2 scenario can be avoided, even with such
tools instantaneously materializing.
4. I would like to come back to Jim's point about "what DTSs do"
versus "what Bugster does" after we actually try one or two of
them. That is, unlike other evaluations, I think there's a
sandbox phase to the evaluation, where we agree that, say, a
notification alias is equivalent to both the IE and RM--or that we
don't agree, and need to formalize that ownership relation in our
requirements. (I suppose this point generalizes #2 above.)
So, we seem to be getting nowhere here.
Is anyone going to suggest other candidates (scarab? something else?
are the mythical bugster people ever going to appear?).
or are we left evaluating a "bugzilla or nothing" situation, as we are
right now?
This can't just be left on the floor, the current system is
intolerably broken.

While we have been taking some baby steps to help make the final
decisions, we are working on making some changes to the BugTraq's email
notification program for notifications sent to non-Sun addresses. We
will be piloting the change for Open Solaris in September.
