On what basis do you assert that if we were to decide today to
continue to use RHBZ to track Fedora bugs, we would be locked into
that decision "for the next 10 years"? I see no grounds for such an
assertion.<br>
<br>
Also, "the QA community" is hardly the only stakeholder who should
have a voice in this discussion. In fact, there are four
stakeholders: QA, packagers, upstream, and users. What efforts are
being made to solicit useful feedback from all four groups?<br>

based on you responce I have to ask how do you see the

So from my point of view we wont be gathering reports from novices

* Many of the benefits to RHBZ that I and others have pointed out
accrue whether the user base contains "novice" end users or not.<br>
<br>
* I can play the prognostication game as well as you can, and no, I
do not think that the rise of the tablet means that in ten years
there won't be any "novice" users on desktop computers. I can type
102 words per minute on a keyboard, and I can work a lot more
productively on my two 25" monitors than on an iPad screen. There
are uses for which a tablet is great, and uses for which a desktop
computer will still be better a hundred years from now.<br>
<br>
* I expect that as smart-phones and tablets become more ubiquitous,
Fedora and other desktop OSes will evolve and focus on the things
for which desktops are best, while tablets will continue to focus on
the things for which tablets are best.<br>
