+1 to new "Probably never" or perhaps something more politically correct state.

There does need to be a distinction, though, between 'probably never'
and new tickets, not yet assigned to a milestone. I'm not that familiar
with Bugzilla, though; maybe the Status field is enough to handle that?

In my opinion, it would be simpler to assign those tickets to the next
major/minor release, forcing developers to assess when that milestone
is on deck whether the ticket will actually get fixed in this one or
moved further down. The problem with this "1.1 Family" is evident in
Bugzilla where we have a bunch of tickets still assigned to the 1.2.x
family. I think these family categories are just corners where
tickets go to hide and be forgotten.
Personally, I think even a "Future" or "TBD" milestone clouds the
issue, but it would be a good compromise. What I'm going for is
tickets are only assigned to a milestone when someone steps up and
says they'll fix them or the community agrees it is a requirement of
the milestone.
As for the "probably never" tickets, just sitting in Bugzilla not
having a milestone will be enough to keep them from the casual project
view (assuming we put in place a clean roadmap).
In general, I think the most simple solution will be the one that
lives the longest and brings the most clarity.

Did we agree anything on bugs which we don't want to allocate to a
milestone - my preference is a "probably never" or "un-allocated"
milestone - something we can query on. Personally I don't like "LATER"
resolutions - IMO thats not a "resolution".
In my own project, we have a major release pseudo-release for issues
that we haven't allocated yet, and then true mliestone releases for
issues that'ave we have allocated, so the JIRA map looks like this:
[Unreleased] 2.x ( Release Notes) Progress: [Unresolved

So, "2.x" is the "undecided" category for our 2.x release series.
