I think that herds really only make sense if there is some kind of coordinated team effort behind them. Otherwise they're little more than another form of category and a black hole for bugs to go into. Certainly a few herds are active in this way, but it seems like the majority are not. Where they are not we should get rid of them, unless a team steps up to actively maintain them (defining a project, electing leads, etc). Rich
