There is no point arguing this.  We can't do a reasonable side-by-side
comparison and/or transition if we don't work with the same frontend.

The decision to change the frontend would be a rather invasive one, and
one can't use more than one frontend in parallel since the point of the
frontend is to provide a _complete_ overview over existing issues.

Again: wrong time to argue this.  One thing after the other.
