I find it interesting that you call other ways to look at bug statuses 'odd', while not considering that maybe your intepretation sounds odd to me (and probably to others as well). BTW, when the mozilla team setup their workflow, there wasn't a state "Won't fix" at all ... and _rejecting_ upstream bugs on ubuntu side is just hard to explain to reporters and definitly triggers noise in the bug from unhappy reporters. (and btw, I think the same is still valid for |Won't fix|). Anyway, I am open to look at bug statuses used by mozillateam again, but not before you have landed your _final_ one and only great way to triage bugs ;). Currently things are still moving too fast and from what I remember there are plans to extend the bug statuses another time ... later adding ACL barriers et al ... so for me it doesn't make much sense to change the mozillateams interpretation of bug statuses right now, because I just cannot tell atm if those would be void in 6 month or 2 weeks. - Alexander -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
