+1, sounds fine, although no one should be using 3.5 bibisect package any
longer. The bibiect40 package contains everything in 3.5 so using 3.5 is
outdated. I believe the wiki says something along these lines :)

Hm looks like you get it :)

No, these mean that bibisect was done, not that it's requested. So the more
appropriate would be "bibisected" but I don't think we should do this, at
least not yet, with the NEEDINFO project going we're already sending a lot
of spam to developers and users from FDO - sending even more seems like a
bad idea atm. In the future this could be useful. Can you quickly get a
query together that shows us approx. how many bugs we're talking about - I
think focusing on non closed bugs would be ideal, why update whiteboard
status on bugs that have been fixed?


Best,
Joel
