Re: [Bugzilla] Missing option to go from WAITING to UNCONFIRMED?

One use case for a WAITING->UNCONFIRMED transition is this, I think:
the feedback was received but we're still trying to decide whether it's 
really a bug or not.  This can take a while in some of the C++ cases.  :-)  I 
suppose we can just leave the bugs in NEW state then, but it's not as 
informative.
