Interesting, on most newer ticketing systems I've seen if you are |
| 20 |
about to make a change there is typically some kind of UI element |
| 21 |
(checkbox) that says something like 'suppress notifications.' An |
| 22 |
oft-used feature by me anyway when making cosmetic changes or making a |
| 23 |
number of changes at once. This assumes of course that anyone |
| 24 |
interested in the bug will actually visit it to see the full set of |
| 25 |
updates; not always the care for me and I imagine other users as well. |
