I do not know if there are not in Bugzilla.. sorry about not saying
'maybe'. I do remember that when SOX was getting rolled out, there had
to be a lot of changes into the entire Red Hat build system to meet
various tracking changes through the life of it etc. I thought someone
mentioned that covered bugzilla too.. but hey I am getting my info via
virtual beers that come due the next time I am in NC.
