	Yeah, I would agree in this case. Some things do deserve some
discussion. Custom Fields, Skins, things like that.

	I did really enjoy reading Poul-Henning's post. I think the Bugzilla
Project is normally pretty good about not discussing small changes to
death. :-) I'm sure we've done it a few times, though, and this post
should be a great reminder for us in the future if and when we get into
that situation. :-)
