I guess the right attitude is, instead of using big labels to describe
this big fuzzy thing called task management, using good judgement to
determine whether individual changes make sense for Bugzilla or not.

[For one, I find timetracking to be a major selling point for Bugzilla
when presenting it as a solution to a customer -- and that's not
strictly `bug tracking', though who cares about labels when the intent
is to make kick-ass software.]

Take care,
