Sure, I suppose, I mean, not this conservation, this conversation was
about koko and how it needs crash tracking because quite clearly there's
opportunity for crashing. The reality right here right now is that
drkonqi only sports bugz support and will not gain gitlab support until
at least October. Which is why I said that this is the reality we live
in short to mid term.
