Re: [eclipse-dev] Clarification on use of iplog flag


The contributed flag is no longer needed. The iplog flag gives the same information but at finer granularity.  Since we haven't fully converted the old IP data to the new format, please don't remove the "contributed" flag from old bugs though (things fixed in 3.4 or earlier).
