A long time ago, "Bugzilla 3" was a Hixie-driven rewrite of the entire 
thing, on the basis that the current codebase was far too horrible to 
contemplate fixing up. Some very general "framework" code got committed 
to CVS, then Hixie ran out of time and it all ground to a halt.

What we have now is the fixed-up version of the un-fixuppable code :-) 
However, we've kind of got stuck on the 2.X version scheme. Although 
Hixie's Bugzilla 3 is no more, there are no plans to declare Bugzilla 
version 3.

Perhaps there should be - but what milestone could we pass that would be 
worthy of the jump? We've done so much in the past in small increments 
that it might seem odd.

Perhaps one of:
- full templatisation
- running under mod_perl

might be suitable...
