Actually, the word "bugzilla" has been purged from the system as much as

Burying Bugzilla under all that marketing crap^H^H^H^H lingo is a big
mistake in my opinion. At least you should consider giving technically
skilled users direct Bugzilla access without having to face the
beautification layer.
Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but from a usability standpoint, I
think it's difficult to argue the merits of the previous system over the new
one. Hopefully, all the previous functional items are present in the new
layout, but in any event, I applaud the organization of new system. And I
would expect the Rev folks will be open to suggestions for improvement.
No offense, but you made me think of Microsoft Bob. The social UI that
should take usability to new levels, failing to realize that existing UI
usage patterns were already entrenched and ended up as one of the
biggest jokes in the computing industry.
I am not trying to draw a parallel here, I just want to make sure that
those of us who like conformance and standards better than creative
deviations/distractions aren't left out in the cold...
