Usually we mean UPSTEAM to mean that the issue is an upstream issue, and should be pursued there. Usually we don't use it to mean that the issue IS resolved upstream but we're waiting for a release/etc. I'm not sure how important the distinction is in practice. The portage team could of course use it differently. -- Rich
