Well you won't hear it from me anyway because I gave up on 
fedora/firewire back when the FC3-era bz entry sat for 6 months or so 
with no activity and no way to get to the data on my disks under fedora. 
 But the solution is to put the reversion procedure in the bugzilla 
item in response to the first bug report and subsequently refer to it 
only by links.  If you want bz reports you have to make them lead to 
quick solutions.
