>>>Yesterday, I made a suggestion for a UT enhancement via the Task Tracker. With all the recent posts about bugs, I came up with an idea that, IMV, would be better than having a specific category for them. This idea is outlined on the Task Tracker. Since people may make comments one the utility of such an idea, I would appreciate all interested parties in doing so.

It would be sufficient in my case (and even without additional reminder), but it could be still difficult for new comers. Say, Jim compelled a long list of bugs, they now should be inserted in this new KB, right? It's still easier for lots of people to write a message about found problem (bug) here rather than in KB and check KB for existance of the bug.

So, I see your idea as a good enhancement and useful, but not for everyone. If some new user will forget to put bug into KB, somebody has to do so instead...
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
