Is Bugzilla dying?

 
 

Max has some interesting points about the long ago chosen language choice for the bug tracking tool Bugzilla: Perl. What is the popular Bugzilla's future, due to the limitations of the Perl? It sounds like they are thinking about a rewrite. Can an open source product survive a transition of that magnitude? This will be interesting to see how it pans out. Open source failed me once, I hope it doesn't fail the testing community.
