There's been an ongoing project in RH for the last few years to get
RHBZ closer to upstream. It's *much* closer now than it was a few years
ago. I haven't looked at the internal fork for a year or so, but last
time I did it wasn't a long way away from upstream.
Yes, it's really close, and I still hope it will happen eventually.
It will be a bit sad to see this counterexample go, though.
So yeah, this is a valid entry in the list, but again it's a
very
'grandfathered' one, and one it would be practically very difficult to
do much about (trying to unpick Fedora from RHBZ has been talked about
more than once but is logistically a very difficult job).
The close integration between Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux bugs
has been quite helpful to us, too. I also don't think CPE is eager to
run their own Bugzilla.
Thanks,
