I would agree. I'm in the midst of pitching GNATS to my management to
handle just this very thing.  Actuall, we'll be using it as not only a
customer tracking base, but also to track our own internal knowledge of
various system failures. Thus, when some fault occurs in our system, a
developer can search the GNATS base and find relevant issues from the past
that may relate.

The one thing it lacks is a web interface to manipulate the
configuration... all that is done via vi on the Unix side. Which is a
bummer, because in some situations you might want someone to administer
this tool who is not UNIX friendly.  Perhaps in the future.
