more flexibility?...

[Sergey A. Lipnevich]

I'm not a Bugzilla developer per se, but if this can be done, then... 
Jason for President!!! I'm serious, it's a feature to die for, it would 
also open doors wider to using Bugzilla for general issue tracking not 
just defect tracking (although I know this is not the direction Bugzilla 
is ready to take, a lot of people end up using Bugzilla like that).
Thanks!

Sergey.
