Sure, I consider that important too. From what I've seen is that converters usually \
do a great job for 80% of the data. But that 20% can be problematic and result in a \
no-go. But there are also some corner cases, like the inability to convert/use the \
old passwords for users, which is pretty likely. We have to decide if the advantages \
of any new system beat that rather big disadvantage.

Redmine has a bz2redmine converter. I'm a bit sceptical Redmine can deal with the \
amount of bugs we have, but just for the fun of it, I'm planning to see if it would \
be capable of handling it. Nothing on short-term though. 

And with the arrival of the new drkonqi any possible transition has become a lot \
harder, as it depends on the presence of a bugzilla installation. 

Best,

Toma
