+1.&nbsp;Bugzilla&nbsp;Crime&nbsp;#1:&nbsp;Marking&nbsp;A&nbsp;Bug&nbsp;Fixed&nbsp;With&nbsp;Unresolved&nbsp;Dependencies<br>
+<br>
+It&nbsp;can't&nbsp;be&nbsp;marked&nbsp;fixed&nbsp;with&nbsp;unresolved&nbsp;dependencies.&nbsp;&nbsp;Either&nbsp;mark&nbsp;it<br>
+INVALID&nbsp;(tracking&nbsp;bugs),&nbsp;fix&nbsp;the&nbsp;dependencies&nbsp;at&nbsp;the&nbsp;same&nbsp;time,&nbsp;or<br>
+resolve&nbsp;the&nbsp;blockers.<br>
+<br>
+See&nbsp;"http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24496".<br>
+<br>
+2.&nbsp;Keyword&nbsp;Restrictions<br>
+<br>
+Some&nbsp;keywords&nbsp;should&nbsp;only&nbsp;apply&nbsp;in&nbsp;certain&nbsp;circumstances,&nbsp;eg&nbsp;beta1&nbsp;=&#62;<br>
+Milestone&nbsp;&#60;<br>
+M14,&nbsp;css1&nbsp;=&#62;&nbsp;Component&nbsp;=&nbsp;Style&nbsp;System&nbsp;are&nbsp;possibilities.&nbsp;&nbsp;See<br>

+3.&nbsp;Whine&nbsp;About&nbsp;Old&nbsp;Votes<br>
+<br>
+Old&nbsp;votes&nbsp;can&nbsp;just&nbsp;sit&nbsp;on&nbsp;resolved&nbsp;bugs.&nbsp;&nbsp;This&nbsp;is&nbsp;problematic&nbsp;with<br>
+duplicates&nbsp;especially.&nbsp;&nbsp;Automatic&nbsp;transferral/removal&nbsp;is&nbsp;not<br>
+appropriate&nbsp;since&nbsp;bugs&nbsp;can&nbsp;be&nbsp;reopened,&nbsp;but&nbsp;a&nbsp;whining&nbsp;solution&nbsp;might<br>
+work.&nbsp;&nbsp;See&nbsp;"http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27553".<br>
+<br>
+4.&nbsp;Whine&nbsp;And&nbsp;Warn&nbsp;About&nbsp;Milestone&nbsp;Mismatches<br>
+<br>
+Here's&nbsp;a&nbsp;fun&nbsp;one.&nbsp;&nbsp;Bug&nbsp;X&nbsp;(M17)&nbsp;depends&nbsp;on&nbsp;Bug&nbsp;Y&nbsp;(M15).&nbsp;&nbsp;Bug&nbsp;Y&nbsp;gets&nbsp;moved<br>
+out&nbsp;to&nbsp;M19.&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;notification&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;assignee&nbsp;of&nbsp;Bug&nbsp;X&nbsp;gets&nbsp;ignored&nbsp;(of<br>
+course)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Bug&nbsp;X&nbsp;is&nbsp;now&nbsp;due&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;fixed&nbsp;before&nbsp;one&nbsp;of&nbsp;its&nbsp;blockers.<br>
+<br>
+Warnings&nbsp;about&nbsp;this&nbsp;when&nbsp;it&nbsp;is&nbsp;detected&nbsp;as&nbsp;well&nbsp;as&nbsp;whining&nbsp;about&nbsp;it&nbsp;in<br>
+email&nbsp;would&nbsp;help&nbsp;bring&nbsp;these&nbsp;issues&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;attention&nbsp;of&nbsp;people&nbsp;sooner.<br>
+<br>
+Note&nbsp;that&nbsp;this&nbsp;would&nbsp;be&nbsp;less&nbsp;of&nbsp;a&nbsp;problem&nbsp;if&nbsp;we&nbsp;didn't&nbsp;have&nbsp;so&nbsp;many<br>
+tracking&nbsp;bugs&nbsp;since&nbsp;they&nbsp;aren't&nbsp;updated&nbsp;that&nbsp;often&nbsp;and&nbsp;often&nbsp;have&nbsp;this<br>
