Absolute values as opposed to references

[Casey Gregoire]

Even if its not a policy it's a good idea, because if you could change what
has been said about a bug, someone might delete information they don't think
is relevant when it really is. This seems as a protection against such a
thing. Its one of the things the people at my office who choose Bugzilla
liked most compared to the system we had made in house. (I mean aside from
the slew of features and the fact that it is web based. Unlike our old
system.)

Thanks,

Subject: Absolute values as opposed to references


Is there any reason in particular why certain things are static, such as
the Operating system in a bug? Is there any particular reason why they're
not simple references to another table with (opsysid, desc) or something
similar?

Also, is there any particular policy that dictates that a bug description
should not be changed, as opposed to just adding comments?
