I am not suggesting that bugzilla is "the" cause, rather that the 
separation of systems foster the condition. You are absolutely correct 
though. Without people actually using the features it matters not what 
system we use.

My proposal for using one homogeneous system is geared on the idea that 
people doesn't care to admit that the problem exists or take initiative 
to fix it if they never have to look at it. Presented with it everyday 
however, "some" become motivated to take action to resolve the issue.

I cannot see how doing this would negatively impact the community.
