Well you won't hear it from me anyway because I gave up on
fedora/firewire back when the FC3-era bz entry sat for 6 months or so
with no activity and no way to get to the data on my disks under fedora.
But the solution is to put the reversion procedure in the bugzilla
item in response to the first bug report and subsequently refer to it
only by links. If you want bz reports you have to make them lead to
quick solutions.
