asterisk users - Aug 2012 - Asterisk community services - Old Mantis instance to be shutdown on Aug 28th, 2012

On June 5, 2011, we migrated from Mantis to Jira as the issue tracker
for Asterisk [1]. We temporarily left Mantis running in read-only mode
to smooth the transition. At 15 months, temporary has turned into
semi-permanent. As a part of other infrastructure changes we are making
to the community services, we will finally shut down Mantis for good.

We will update our DNS servers on the morning of Tuesday, August 28th,
however it may take a few hours for those changes to propagate.

We have done our best to put redirects in place so that old links to
Mantis will still work. If you find a link that does not redirect as
expected, or have any other problems you think may be caused by the
Mantis shutdown, please report them in the "JIRA Help" project [2]. If
you would rather report your issue via email, you may contact us at
asteriskteam at digium.com.

Huzzuh!

Does this mean http://issues.asterisk.org will now go directly to JIRA?

Guys,

Is it possible to leave the Mantis on permanently?

It allows to productively search and work with issues recorded in it. 
Search, convenient straight forward layout, patch download URLs,
everything just works there.

JIRA maybe is convenient for the management and developers.  I just
guess, as somebody must have loved it so it was chosen as a Mantis
replacement.  But for an ordinary user (in my opinion) it is cumbersome
and unfriendly.

Thank you,
Vladimir
