If the hours are used to triage and fix bugs on the old platform, that
is not wasted time.

If it is simply marking duplicates for long fixed bugs, that is a bit of
a waste of time. But it is not a time intensive job (and our team is
getting bigger) - remember kmarass marked about 200 dups on 69333 in 30
minutes once - or was it more?

And it is not essential for us to mark the dups, they won't get in your
way of traiging the current desktops?

Maybe see my other mail, but these reports are useful in the very least
that they show us where the users are.
