    Yes it is unless you create toplevel categories for bugs that
    are occuring on non-official kernel trees.

    My expeience so far with this bug database has been that I just
    immediately close every bug assigned to me, here are two
    examples:

    1) TCP crash with -mm2 patches --> known error in Andrew's
    patches

    2) tcp_MSS doesn't compile --> already fixed in current BK tree

    the list goes on and on, and the simple fact of the matter is that
    I have yet to see a _REAL_ bonified bug. If this is how this bug
    database is going to continue to be used by people, it's going to
    be of only limited usefullness to me.

    Look, if #1 and #2 would have been posted to linux-kernel instead,
    the fact is that before I woke up and hit my email box SOMEONE ELSE
    would have responded and even sent that person a patch.

    In this sense it appears that linux-kernel is more effective than
    thus bug database, ESPECIALLY if we are going to allow people to
    report bugs against trees with random patches applied.
