+      The bug status workflow is no longer hardcoded but can be freely customized
+      from the web interface. Only one bug status cannot be renamed nor deleted,
+      UNCONFIRMED, but the workflow involving it is free. The configuration
+      page displays all existing bug statuses twice, first on the left for bug
+      statuses we come from and on the top for bug statuses we move to.
+      If the checkbox is checked, then the transition between the two bug statuses
+      is legal, else it's forbidden independently of your privileges. The bug status
+      used for the "duplicate_or_move_bug_status" parameter must be part of the
+      workflow as that is the bug status which will be used when duplicating or
+      moving a bug, so it must be available from each bug status.
