+In my Tue, 25 Nov 2008 08:30:19 -0500 email: 
+
+Implemented as a free-form value field similar to target?  A
+comma-seperated list of tags?  Perhaps once we have per-bug/comment
+attribute searching it would be easier to have a 'create-attribute'
+becommand, e.g.
+  be create-attribute [-valid=X,Y,Z] [bugdir|bug|comment] [NAME] [DEFAULT]
+
+We could ship some suggested configuration scripts to set people up,
+and keep the core code more general/flexible.
+
+
+Plan:
+
+Extend and make more consitent the settings_property() attributes.
+Create becommand/(create/remove)-attribute for logic-less attributes.
+Create a few mix-ins for logic-ed attributes
+
+Usage example:
+  Goal:
+    set up for `be depends BUGA BUGB`, `be depends --tree BUGA`, etc
+  Procedure:
+    be set --apend mixins bug:dependency
+  Where we've defined
+    becommands/depends.py, but it is hidden until the mixin is activated
+    libbe/mixins/bug/dependency.Mixin (inheriting from BugMixin)
+      to
+        parse/generate comma seperated dependency uuids for saving/loading
+        pretty-print the dependency list (e.g. uuid->shortname)
+        walk the dependency tree and check target bug status.
+
+With more complicated mixins, there could be inter-mixin dependencies,
+e.g. a dependency tracker that searches depends based on bug.status
+might depend on the base dependency mixin.  This way people who need
+it could make rich interfaces without confusing the people who don't.
+
+How does that sound?
