Can you elaborate what the differences are?  Other than smaller fonts and
pink backgrounds I didn't notice any functional difference between the two
pages.  In particular, they both seemed to have several columns of
information which could be used to sort the display in ascending or
descending order.  (I use Opera.  Maybe some other tidbits are available to
people using Netscape or MSIE.)

My biggest gripe with bugzilla has always been the damn search form.  Talk
about an inefficient UI!  If I need to submit a bug report to a
bugzilla-based system I refuse to even try to see if the bug has been
reported before.
