there's also the fact that bugzilla allows you to submit bugs only
against "fedora core", not "fedora core test".  granted, at the moment,
there *is* only one release of fedora, but technically, that's a test
version so, strictly speaking, bugzilla doesn't even have a category
for the current version.

someone should really clarify this.
