>&#13; Despite its current robustness and popularity, Bugzilla faces
some near-term challenges, such as reliance on a single
database, a lack of abstraction of the user interface and
program logic, verbose email bug notifications, a powerful but
daunting query interface, little reporting configurability,
problems with extremely large queries, some unsupportable bug
resolution options, little internationalization (although non-US
character sets are accepted for comments), and dependence on
some nonstandard libraries.
