Unfortunately, we don't actually have GNATS up and running on
fencepost.gnu.org, and bugs.gnu.org points to a machine that no longer
exists.  This all dates back to the pre-4.0 release period when the GNU
servers were cracked.  We have the old GNATS databases, but the savannah
administrators have not yet fulfilled my request (over 6 months old) to
install GNATS on fencepost (Debian Woody).

I'll see if I can get an update from the sysadmin's as to the status of
installing GNATS from Woody.  So, I'll seek your opinions regarding the
"dogbowl" status of our project.  Do you think it's more important to
have a stable version of GNATS running for our own bug reporting, or
would you prefer to see a newer, perhaps RC version of GNATS running?

I'm partial to simply running the stable version rather than cutting
edge.  If you all feel we should do cutting edge, I'll compile GNATS
locally on my personal account on fencepost and run it from my home
directory.
