I know the story. I still think telling the user their bug is ASSIGNED
when it still may be completely ignored is bad form. The developers are
generally more adaptable than the users filing the bugs - things like
UNCONFIRMED, NEW, ASSIGNED are all easily understandable. ON_QA, ON_DEV
are not. (Also, the prior states are all in *upstream* bugzilla, as opposed
to RH inventions - if we use those, we'll have common states across bugzillas.)
