But the same message is used for the converse relationship - the parent
tickets become "members" of child tickets. Yes, they too are forming an
implicit grouping around child tickets, but using the same terms for both is
still pointless as it creates a confusing message when there's no apparent
need for confusion. Heck, simply printing the exact description of the
action taken ("Ticket made parent of %1" etc) would be better than this.
