	(1) That's what we did for 2.18, and look how long it took us.

	(2) I don't know if you've looked at the basics of Sean's patch, but it
*replaces* Search.pm with a brand-new module. That's not an acceptable
change for a single patch. :-)

	The best way to have bad code in Bugzilla that stays around for a long
time is to check in large patches.

	We *can* have Custom Fields for 2.22, and I'm planning on it. We just
need somebody to start now working on the blockers that I've posted,
nearly all of which can be worked on now.
