Yep.

Interesting;  I've got none,  but my database only goes back to 2003.

This is one of the things we are doing;  using projects for containers.

The "kind" can't be set via the WebUI;  what it is best way to replace
the current filter?  Just filter out everything where kind isn't NULL or
to create a default?  Since you can't set kind via the WebUI I don't see
how it would ever get set for "normal" projects,  thus a kind value
indicates the project is something other than normal.
