They are, but a "notbug" sign would also be appropriate. Being standard tag and not random usertag, would bring quality to the BTS (I feel so). | The point is that I'd like to see people already using the features | that are extant to apply usertags to bugs that they think are useful | before I add additional tags. By large, I'm afraid the usertags feature is not used, and continues to be unused. From a developer's point of view during updating packages, one consults: - BTS control page - and the named tags (to select appropriate one) This is my experience, which of cource, is not a generalization. But I have a hunch that this is the case among most of the developers. They do their stuff, only very few may be aware of usertags, even less use them. And if used, the tags attached attached varies bringing diversity that cannot be machine processed (statictics ...), like counting "notbug" would. | That other bug systems are using it is fine and great, but considering | the fact that we've not really needed it for quite some time suggests | to me that it might not actually be needed. If you want additional | tags, you need to convince me or someone else with the owner AT b.d.o hat | on to add them; using usertags to do it, and a list of bugs with the | tags applied would go along way to convicing me that it would be | useful. I don't have lot to convince other than these posts. If a study needs to be conducted over BTS before enough argements could be taken into consideration -- yet the results may be uncertain -- I'm afraid, there is no-one to put that much effort to get a single and simple thing added to the BTS. I have to rush to my other duties and I hope to have have done my best to bring forward pros in favor of the "notbug".
