I'm not sure whether its good or bad to have a single project across 
versions. Some differences are:
-We will meet some scalability issues about as fast as possible. (will 
force our tools to get faster)
-Things that didn't get in last time are still there (better than moving 
things manually, but we will need some way of ignoring the irrelevant).

Seems like the only thing the BFAV used to have over what we'd get 
immediately is the fact that the BFAV would hold bugs/code/reviews in 
the same place, same UI, in Squeak.

Since we've given up on the integration anyway with the move to Mantis, 
I think we lose nothing by implementing this with the tool support that 
currently exists, and then let it get better with time. But we better 
have a good plan for integration with/migration from Mantis, or some 
good people will kill us ;-)

A side benefit is that it is a way to help the remaining few 
dev-Squeakers who haven't already, meet MC/SqS.
