Well, it was done that way for a reason - so the project itself doesn't deviate from the focus of writing a good issue/bug tracking system. If we add a customer management interface to it, what would stop us from expanding even more into sales force management and etc?
So the architecture of Eventum allows for customer integration when needed, but you need to do a bit of work to glue Eventum to whatever CRM tool you might be using. And yes, I think eventually someone will write a module to quickly integrate with SugarCRM.

I'm not quite sure what you mean above. What "entry screen" are you referring to? If you mean the filter form that is shown above the issue listing screen results, that _can_ be hidden if you want it to.

Pretty complete issue tracking program
Eventum is a pretty complete issue tracking program. That said,
it does require some additional work if you want to have
customers available in Eventum. There is an API that allows you
to integrate with your existing customer database if you have one.
Alternatively, I would be nice to see a solution that uses
something like SugarCRM if one doesn't have have a customer
solution.
The user interface could also use some improvement. Putting the
entry screen above the list of records is cumbersome, and at a
minimum should have a DIV to hide/show it.
However, it is probably one of the more professional open source
bug/issue/ticket tracking systems available.
