Yes, but having to rely on somebody elses experience is a big barrier to
newcomers and we should keep needed knowledge as open and as broad as possible.

Yes, actually I want to use a query like that. Up to now I used the one at:

Even if there are ~20-50 bugs that would need to be changed back, it is a lot
better than having >2000 (of 6400 total) in an inconsistent state.

Why arent you on nabble.documentfoundation.org btw? I keep forgetting about
that list for that reason.

Best,
