Now that bug 69267 has been implemented, it would be great to disable the relnote keyword. Firefox is now using a tracking flag "relnote-firefox:" instead.

AFAIK, this keyword is still used by:
* the Bugzilla project
* SeaMonkey

I don't think Thunderbird is using it now.
Byron, Callek, could you switch to an other solution? an other keyword (relnote-bugzilla or relnote-seamonkey) or tracking flag like fx? Thanks

*I* don't use the relnote keyword for SeaMonkey, however I'm not certain if others in SeaMonkey do.

I've cast a wide net with a whole bunch of SeaMonkey people to try and get an answer to c#1 for you. (if any of you know for sure, please clear all n-i's for seamonkey. If you don't a self-clear is enough)

Sylvestre, if everyone from SeaMonkey that I n-i'd simply clears their n-i's with no-one owning up to using it, I feel safe in saying directly we don't need it. (since these people are the most likely to care afaik)

before bug 69267 was fixed i raised this in a bugzilla meeting and there were no disagreements with moving to a relnote flag for bugzilla tracking.  i'll remind the project admins about this so we can flip the switch once we're clear.

Yeah we can kill it.

I don't use the relnote flag. though I'm sure if we need something,
we can always use relnote-seamonkey

I think it would still be useful to track where release notes are required, so as long as we can have a relnote-seamonkey tracking flag, happy for relnote keyword to vanish.

What Ian said. I've used it in the past but since it's not specific to SM, better replace it by something that is.

i think there's enough responses from the seamonkey team to have consensus.

i've deactivated the 'relnote' keyword, and created 'relnote' flags for both bugzilla and seamonkey.
