[jboss-as7-dev] IMPORTANT New JIRA Policy & Massive JBAS JIRA Reorg/Cleanup

[Dimitris Andreadis]

This is done now so I'm not sure if it's possible to automatically spot those JBPAPP jiras 
pointing back to JBAS ones with a filter or something: 
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA042/Advanced+Searching?clicked=jirahelp

It seems probably easier to check open JBPAPP jiras individually to see if they point to 
JBAS reports that are still relevant and should be handled in AS7, even though the code base 
is so much different.
