1075231 - Add "this is why we can't have nice things" keyword

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Bugzilla Tweaks, defect)

Description

[Ralph Giles (:rillian)]

I propose we add an option for the keyword field to represent the "This is why we can't have nice things" meme. It would be amusing and relieve stress.

Perhaps:

we-cannot-have-nice-things
no-nice-things
nicethings

Other reduction suggestions welcome.

I can definitely add the keywords that are agreed on (need a brief description for each as well) but it is up to others about what they are called. Please needinfo? the people who you think would be able to help decide as they may not see this bug automatically. Also make sure there is not overlap with other keywords that exist already as there are many.

Thanks

What should we call it, Nick? I've not come up with anything I'm happy with. The brief description should of course be, "This is why we can't have nice things."

other ideas:

airship
clownshoes
failwhale

(The Hindenburg disaster was my first encounter with this meme. All problems can be solved by another layer of indirection.)

I've always liked "clownshoes".  I think Identity (now Cloud Services) would appreciate that.  gps might have an opinion, and rnewman :)
