[wtp-dev] Bugzilla Spring Cleaning

[John Lanuti <jlanuti@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey guys,

Some of you may be wondering why you
have so many bugzilla emails in your in box, and yep, it's me doing some
spring cleaning.  :-)  I have mainly focused on closing out really
old verified bugs in older target milestones.  However, in the process,
over 50% of all of our resolved bugs were in the untargetted state.  This
is fine if the defect was resolved as works for me or invalid or won't
fix.  However, as some of you are pointing out, some of these bugs
are bugs you just fixed very recently.  Let this be a reminder, if
you do agree to accept a bug and provide a fix, then you must set the target
milestone appropriately.  This is crucial for WTP release engineering,
quality standards, and project control.  So, if you were affected
by this, my apologies for the inconvenience, I am hoping there are only
a few of you out there.  Please reopen, set the target milestone accordingly,
and resolve as fixed again,  Then, we will monitor and track that
bug in our usual queries. 

The good news is we have a much clearer
picture of what changed in 1.5.3, 1.5.4, 2.0 M5, and M6 and we can focus
our verification efforts appropriately.

Thanks,
