No. We have plenty of enhancement requests that don't fit into WONTFIX, FIXED, WORKSFORME, or LATER. And we don't want to make those disappear, those are valid bugs to keep open. The reason why WONTFIX, FIXED, and WORKSFORME doesn't fit that bug is because it's dependent on external systems implementing functionality in order for us to be able to implement the feature. Hence, LATER when they are implemented. -- ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://daniel.friesen.name] _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
