To make the front page a bit less clobbered, I have actually been thinking about simply removing the 'Bug Reports' section of the menu, and just have a single 'Bug Reports' menuitem under the Support menu section (or some other section). That single menu item would link to http://www.freebsd.org/support.html#gnats . Just my opinion... BTW, I also think it could be nice if we turn the web send-pr form back on, since many people have been requesting it - as long as we monitor it closely, so we can pull the plug if it gets abused again. --=20 Simon L.
