In searching for a bug on NOW, I've noticed that a majority of bugs are still in the open state. Does this mean these bugs have not been fixed?
What does the 'release fix' column refer to? Does this mean the bug applies only to that specific release, or that the bug was fixed in that release, or that the bug was first noticed in that release?
Are bugs numbered in a strictly sequential order? If so, how is it that bug #289 applies to release 5.3?
It would be nice to see the bug tracking system be setup more clearly, perhaps with the following fields:
Date bug opened. Date bug closed. First release bug noticed. Releases which contain bug. First release which fixed bug. State: (opened, analyzed, solved, fix incorporated into release).
I'd have to guess that the NOW bug system is not the same system used internally by NA engineers.
