Ditto from me.  This might be a situation where people just want it done and
don't care about the final solution since it is better than what we have
now.

I bet if you make the initial changes to what you think is reasonable based
on any suggestions people make, we can then say, "here is the rough draft of
the tracker; make comments now before we push out the first version
publicly".  That should light some fires under people.  Plus it gives
everyone something concrete to play with.

In other words, take the current ideas, implement them in a schema, push it
to the test tracker, and we can play with it a little and give feedback.
With that done, we then make the tweaks and do the switch.  After that we
can make gradual changes.  I am sure people will come to realize that
certain things are needed as time goes on and people have more experience
with the tracker.

Same from me.  Basically you guys present to us what you got, we comment,
and then was fix and go.
