--- Comment #9 from Andre Klapper <[email protected]> 2012-09-11 14:57:44 UTC ---
For planning the structure you are certainly right, but the actual
implementation part requires quite some preparation and planning (mostly
because of limitations in Bugzilla).
Only one example: Massmoving reports from one product to another requires
exactly the same Versions / Target Milestones to exist for both products
beforehand. Without that you cannot massmove (plus you would lose information).
Other option in this case is to split up the reports in several sets with the
same Version info and then to massmove each set, but that also takes time.

Adding this comment as I planned and implemented a complete product / component
reorg in a Bugzilla 2.22 instance of similar size (amount of bug reports) three
years ago, and it took weeks of planning (though not full-time). Maybe Bugzilla
4.x has seen some improvements though in this area - haven't checked lately.
