Bug Description
NeedsInfo was a bugtask "status" that has now been renamed to Incomplete.
This status is used inconsistently. As mpt notes in commets below:
Using INCOMPLETE 'for anything other than "the bug is not yet described in an understandable and reproducible manner" is bogus.'
Developers do consistently use the status to request additional info from reporters or colleagues when in fact the bug is known and reproducible. This results in good bug reports being expired or ignored.
