[Adium-devl] Better bug reporting statistics

[Elliott Harris]

Just as a side note, one thing I'd really like to see for 1.3 is a  
complete preferences overhaul, moving towards a singleton preference  
controller to work with all of our preferences and get our plist  
piecemeal cleaned up once and for all. If anyone has tried to add a  
preference that isn't Evan, you'll know what I'm talking about.
