For jira hygiene, the current precedence is that resolved tickets do not keep their placeholder fixVersions. For example, no resolved ticket should have a fixVersion of 3.0.x, 3.11.x, 4.0-alpha, 4.0-beta, 4.0-rc, or 4.0.x.
And… all 4.0-alphaX and 4.0-betaX resolved tickets should have the additional fixVersion of "4.0". (This was previously requested so that it was easier to search for any tickets resolved leading to 4.0) With a little housekeeping over the holidays all existing jiras are corrected, so this precedence should be a bit clearer now. In addition the placeholder `4.0-alpha` fixVersion has now been archived as it shouldn't be used or visible any longer.
