remember JV saying that it probably wouldn’t. I’m wondering if it’s

When did I say this?
You may well not have done … I just remembered something about
wanting to take it away but not wanting to break too much stuff …?

All tickets should have fsck.com-rt schemes. Why would that be
a problem?

I was more wondering how hard it would be to just default them to an
“rt” scheme since it would seem to make more sense for people who have
nothing to do with the fsck.com domain. Even RT has nothing to do with
the fsck.com domain now since I believe it was the author’s personal
domain when it was first being developed.
The at scheme is just “at”, it would be nice for rt to be just “rt”
unless you really want a scheme prefix of something else which could be
a config file setting.
As an exercise, I created an “rt” scheme and altered Record.pm,
Ticket_Overlay.pm and URI.pm but in 3.6 REST interface, the links still
come out as fsck.com-rt so I’ve either missed something or something’s
in the DB.

What is this URI used for in RT? How does RT use it?

Well I think it’s supposed to allow you to have custom URI schemes so
that you could, for example, have custom resolver code for a certain
scheme that might even pull in data from external sources or do special
things to certain Tickets etc. the default scheme for tickets results in
URIs like this
fsck.com-rt://$RT::Organization/ticket/
It’s the “fsck.com-rt” part which is hard-coded in as the default. If
you look in the DB table “Links”, you’ll see. I think that this scheme
thing is very nice idea but I would have thought that the default would
be better left at just “rt” so URIs would default to:
rt://$RT::Organization/ticket/
But as JV has said - it might well break things for people to change
this. I have played around a little and have worked out how to change
the default without, so far, breaking anything as there are two ways of
approaching this:
The issue would be, do you have any code/modifications which depend on
“fsck.com-rt” being the default? I don’t so I may move to an “rt” scheme
wholesale.
The patches to do this are simple and I can post them if there is any
interest.

Seriously, though, have you tried? There are less interesting things on
the list than rt://
http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes.html
You could always push it as a general URI-enabled app bug reporting URI
scheme that resolves to a ticket in some ticketing system. What
ticketing system has no concept of a Ticket ID or number?
