Have you had a look at what Bugzilla.pm does currently? It basically
offers a convenient set of wrapper functions around Template, CGI and
Login functionality -- which is all very CGI-specific (even in a
mod_perl context). If we remove that from Bugzilla.pm, well, not much
would be left.

Maybe Bugzilla->user should just forward its request to Bugzilla::Auth,
which would store the currently active User object. That way
Bugzilla::Bug could just grab that from Bugzilla::Auth without having to
worry about circular dependencies.

Take care,
