Well, that is not what I meant - but this is not a bug. I figured that
the category should only be mandatory (gets its own listbox, must select
one) for packages, and not releases. I think I mean that this is an
attribute that should be for the package regardless of release - but I
am not sure - perhaps there are scenarios where it can change over time.

Anyway, it is not a "bug" - but intentional. :)

This is a bug that depends on data - one of the new objects for some
reason makes it barf. I will fix this with the next release. We had the
problem earlier, but it went away.

This is a bug. A silly one. The PI field checks for collisions and
collides with itself, cough, cough.
Clear the field, saved, edit it again, save.

Categories are in fact data in the model - so that I can change easily.
