Which is clearly not justified.
ACT is certainly not responsible for impudent children.

I simply asked for more transparency. 
The process became too opaque for non-customers.
Robert's statements deserve agreement, no doubt.
But I can't identify and trace my item submitted, that's all.

In summary I made the same good experience like Norman H. Cohen wrote,
therefore I really can't complain. However I think,
that ACT does not have to do more work when preserving the 
visibility of the bug report mechanism of the old days.
I even see an advantage: The low priority assignments for a non-customer
could drive him to a customer  ;-)
