[rt-users] Looking for a patch to 1.0.7

[Jesse]

This is probably more apropriate for rt-devel, but there is a
field in the each_req table called 'alias' that was intended for
just such a use.  to make this actually, useful, you'd
want to add a check on the ticket loading routines to 'resolve' 
the alias...and a web or cli frob to let you edit 'alias'.

There are no supercomputer applications that are solvable that cannot be solved
in finite time using a fucking TRS-80 with approprite disk/tape drives.  Zero.
