Exactly! This is all about extra work to do, no time to do it, and 
elusive profit of that effort.
Adding a non-public ID takes almost no effort, as well as ignoring it in 
the logs just like most people ignore those strange lawyer-induced 
"Signed-off-by" lines or purely technical "Change-Id" lines.

Creating a separate 'bug' in OpenBMC bugtracker (unless we start to 
require a formal 'bug' for each commit) and adding its ID to the local 
bug-tracker is a useless waste of time, IMO.

Each commit would at max have just one extra company tracker reference 
line. Is that really a problem?
