I spent some time today working on the personas. It'll be interesting,
when we are discussing them, to see which if any personas might use
Bugzilla on a mobile device.

Taking the accessibility one for a moment: if the goal is "make Bugzilla
accessible" (to people with which sorts of disability? Do we include
deaf-blind quadraplegics?), why is a _complete_ UI redesign required to
achieve this?

Also, for the ease-of-use goal: do we have any more specific data than
"people complain Bugzilla is hard to use"? Is the entire UI so poor that
a complete redesign is required? Or would we be better off finding the
tasks that people find hardest, and incrementally improving the UI in
those areas towards a defined goal?

(The answer to these things may be yes; but they are questions we need
to ask.)
