17 This new terminology plain sucks. If you are sticking games into <herd>
18 in metadata.xml, you are just confusing me and other people who are
19 assigning bugs. You'll get mis-assigned bugs. Either don't do it or find
20 another tag and get the DTD updated. <herd> is being used for assigning
21 bugs, you are using it as a placeholder for something else. Category
22 already tells us that it's a game, don't stick games into <herd> unless
23 you actually maintain it. Thanks.
