Thanks for explaining this for others who might not know. Also, I would clarify a bit further that it's the *display* of bug heat, i.e. the flame icons, that isn't useful right now because of point #1 above. You can still go to your bugs home, i.e. http://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr, and choose the "sort by bug heat" option in the search form and get a list of your hot bugs that way. The heat numbers were updated the first of this week, and we're just not updating on change currently as Graham noted. So heat numbers are only a few days old and still useful, IMHO.
