New and Improved 3.13 Beta. Highlights: Shareable filters and dashboards and lots of other goodies. Any feedback can be raised as JIRA issues in the JIRA project.
When internal JIRA user management is used, JIRA does not allow users to be deleted if they have reported issues or have issues assigned to them.
Due to this, some sub-systems in JIRA expect that if a user is an assignee or a reporter of an issue, then the user must exist.
This is much harder to enforce when external user management is used. For example, Crowd.
Therefore, JIRA needs to be changed to relax this constraint.
