Yep, exactly the point of Scarab's development. At the time,
CollabNet's primary client, HP, was the one that really wanted this
feature I believe.

That said, in practice over the years, I've come to find that Scarab's
model is way to confusing for most people. The level of flexibility is
both a savior and a curse. If I had to do it again, I'd make Scarab
quite a bit less flexible.
