If the bug is fixed upstream, the Fedora report can be reopened with a
request to backport the fix (but that should only be done if it's important
enough that it cannot wait for the next bugfix update getting pushed
anyway).
Until then, why do we need to have the bug open in 2 places?
There's an obvious answer to this question: we track the importance of
issues to Fedora via the Fedora bug tracker, not via upstream bug
trackers. There's no way I can mark a bug in the KDE bug tracker as
blocking the release of Fedora 12.
(longer email on the whole thread coming.)
