| True. But we also use e.g. "fixed-in-experimental" and several other

The readers and users of BTS are international, non-native
English speaking, which may prefer to write for simplicity's
sake "notbug" in contrast to "notabug". This also reduces
spelling mistakes (after sending mail: did I forget an "a"
in the middle?)
The articles in general are very difficult to master by
non-english. A simple
not
without article is better if the system is ever expanded. That
is, this is cleaner:
not variable
not error
Than writing:
not a variable
not an error
for techical tools like the BTS. It also make writing 3rd
party tools to handle bug tracking system easier ("not" +
action), so the tags should be considers to beasily machine
handled.
