Comment 45 for bug 336866

I think the linked branch will resolve this problem. The only exception is if there is a named operation that modifies a field you can also modify directly, like IBug.status. Of course, this is what mutator methods like transitionToStatus do, but we got rid of those methods in version 1.0 of the web service, partly for this reason.

Are there any named operations that modify a field you can modify directly, but that aren't mutator methods whose _only_ purpose is to modify that field? Ie. operations that will still exist in version 1.0 of the web service.
