[wp-hackers] How can I filter on post count for categories?

[L'Autre Monde]

The answer is yes and no :)
Yes because this is a great idea to have a separate taxonomy for tickets to 
tag these.
No because I'd like to keep the system as "simple" as possible. So I think 
that keeping the posts together with the tickets it the best way. If I 
introduce a customer taxonomy, you can imagine the impact on the theme and 
also the plugin development. It will be released after windows 42 if I do 
that ;)
