Part of the trouble is that the whole area is fuzzy. So any organization
that imposes some sort of order on the data will not fit well in some
cases. Most tracker systems have ended up either trying to cater for
increasingly complex and varied circumstances, or staying simple and
more or less throwing in the towel on the complexity problem.
That doesn't necessarily mean that it's not worth having a tracker, just
that we need to recognize the limitations.
