If so I'm just curious what that reason is. No reason that I'm aware of why it was turned off. That said, I'm generally leery of enabling technology for technology's sake. So far, I haven't seen any indication of how this would be useful. Folks have said devs are free to use it or ignore it as they see fit. That doesn't seem (to me) like it's going to provide any sort of valuable, useful feedback to the team or the community beyond what we already get with CC lists. Plus, as someone else noted, our users are not exactly famous for being able to use bugzilla correctly in its current form (to be fair, most of the blame for this falls on bugzilla, which has a horrid UI imo). Basically, if the argument is, "well...it's there. Why *not* turn it on?" then I don't see that as being particularly compelling. It sounds like a solution in search of a problem. --kurt --uaevfG5uZ9KhizUI Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBBrHUJPpRNiftIEYRAh+0AJ9lI30NVLbfyOTnsUUYPJ/OceOE+ACfc5+E BVOnogErJgi75l2To5lI76E= =cO+f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --uaevfG5uZ9KhizUI--
