I agree with you. But, I don't see how this is relates to Scmbug. Scmbug permits a single change to have multiple bug numbers. > Finally perl scripts for integrations tend to be difficult to setup, so > "core" components are now written in 3GL using the CVSNT triggers > mechanism so they can work seamlessly "out of the box" on all platforms.
