OtherBugsDependingOnThis

[J M]

Three of the bugs I have filed for FC5 had a change made that states 
'OtherBugsDependingOnThis' and a bug number is listed.  In all three cases 
(there are only two additional bug numbers involved) the bugs state, "You 
are not authorized to access bug #XXXXXX.  I was curious if there is a 
reason as to why the bugs are hidden like this.

Thank you,
Jason

Can you give actual examples? Security bugs, bugs with other sensitive
information etc might be hidden that way.

Yes, two are actually bugs, one is (more or less) a feature request:
180997 OtherBugsDependingOnThis 179629
181856 OtherBugsDependingOnThis 179599
185219 OtherBugsDependingOnThis 179629

It wasn't a big deal, I suspected that it might be something 
sensitive/security related, was just curious if that was the actual case. :)

Thank you,
Jason

Actually, in this case the bug is a tracker bug for a RHEL feature list.

I'm not sure it *has* to be hidden, but there's also no real point in
looking at it except, well, competitive analysis.
