I have to agree, though, that there are too many private bugs in the rh
bugzilla.  Some are necessary but too many things default to "private"
IMHO.  Sometimes people just choose wrong flags, though, so yeah, it's
worth asking for a change and not assuming that it was malicious :)  I
do understand your frustration.
