note that users still enter bugs for both libraries - but I can't generate
reports that select bugs with specific criteria (closed, reopened ...) -
seams to me tat the system misses some configuration/maintenance etc.

some users enter bugs without specifying the component or assign it to the
wrong component ... so simply removing coroutine or fiber will not work
properly (at least someone has to move them to the buck tracker at github)

at the moment I've to check two bug trackers - that's not nice
