Hey Jan, |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I know I didn't announce it properly. It was *my* "fault" but this is |
| 34 |
also a special case IMO. |
| 35 |
We decided to migrate just a few hours ago because robbat2 and me having |
| 36 |
enough time to do it now, finally. We're waiting since about 2007 for |
| 37 |
Bugzilla upgrades and it's now 2011 so I thought it's ok to do it now |
| 38 |
instead of waiting another few months (probably) or longer until we both |
| 39 |
have enough time again etc. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
We're not going to change the workflow, at least not now. We only do |
| 42 |
that if you guys decided about it. |
