#1001: All future significant numbers should be novelty tickets ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: joshua.ballanco@… | Owner: lsansonetti@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: Component: MacRuby | Keywords: ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Old description:
**SUMMARY** When a "nice big round number", like #1000, #5000, #42, etc. is approaching in the trac system of assigning bug numbers, this number should be used for a "novelty ticket"
**STEPS TO REPRODUCE** 1. Wait approximately a year and a half for the next "nice big round number" to come around. By my calculations this should be ticket #2000. 2. Have Thibault file ticket #1999. 3. Wait for Thibault to NOT notice that the next ticket is a "nice big round number". 4. Wait for Eloy to suggest to a user on the mailing list that they should file a ticket, also NOT noticing that the next ticket is a "nice big round number". 5. Wait for said user to file a ticket and ACTUALLY notice that said ticket is a "nice big round number", but still file a "real" ticket.
**REGRESSION** This has been happening since ticket #1000.
**NOTES** It seems that when this bug occurs, Matt is inclined to make half-hearted and mostly-unfunny jokes about the situation. Hopefully, if the original issue is fixed then this other issue will disappear as well. If not, we may need a separate issue for Matt's jokes.
