Well, obviously they have, since they are users and are directly
impacted by any changes.
The line this draws is between clean-sheet design and iterative
improvement. Clearly it would be difficult to try to sell us a wholesale

(AFAIK, Roundup itself comes from a platonic, clean-sheet design of an
ideal bug tracker: we had to customize it a lot)
