   The rationale for the external system is based on IT
security  
issues. With internal and external issues in the same
tracker, there  
is some possibility that external people might see these

That's fine.
I'm just waiting to see how the details this is supposed to
work will
be ironed out. So far there were already different ideas
that I could
hardly see fullfilled by a single solution, but of course it
is not
necessary to cover every imaginable use case.
