Yeah, that sucks sometimes, sorry dude. The tickets in the Opscode
support system can be a great help because they contain good
information to reproduce the problem, but sometimes the user makes
them private to protect sensitive data in there, then only the user
and Opscode can see the ticket. Maybe I could add a filter to hide
those comments on JIRA from non-opscode employees.

But still, there is no shortage of other people participating directly
on that ticket. I consider JIRA to be the central authority on all
Chef bugs (which is why even Opscode support tickets get linked back
there). It's really nice when you're working with the code and you can
review the history and discussion of the problem in one place, which
is admittedly different from just looking for a workaround on the
interweb.
