Yes - we get far too many 2008.11-specific bugs filed at bugs.opensolaris.org
because it's the obvious URL and nothing there points to the other site.
The filing bugs page at
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/resources/reporting_bugs/
is an excellent recent addition, but it needs to be linked to from the bugs.os.o
& defects.os.o front pages.

The categories on defect.os.o are temporary placeholders until we get farther
along in the migration from the old bug system to the new one and decide if
we want to just copy the current categories or refactor them.   Unfortunately,
the person leading the bug migration project has been slightly distracted for
the last year or two by also leading the new packaging system project and being
one of the leads on the Indiana project.

No, that's a horrible bug in itself.
