    	I don't currently use bugzilla (just due to inertia), but the
    whole world doesn't have to switch to something overnight in order for
    that facility to end up saving more time and resources than it has
    cost.  Adoption can grow gradually, and it's probably easier to work
    out bugs (in bugzilla) and improvements that way anyhow.
