It's just depends on how you see the tracker. It's not just to "bug" tracker
anymore, is it? On other projects I've worked with, we had separate areas
for bugs, features, and tasks. (yes, it's SourceForge.) I found it easier to
keep organized. However, if this is Python's way, I'm not going to stand in
it.
