Makes sense. > We could decide that bugs for which no "affects-X.Y" label exist anymore > can be closed.

Ideally the backports would happen more timely to keep the list of "Open" issues clean. Otherwise some of the "Open" issues are completely unfixed, while for others "merely" the backport is missing. > With this model, there is less work for everyone involved, all the info > is concentrated together, users can see that their version remains bogus > because we don't know how to backport the fix but the next one is fixed > so it might be time to upgrade, and there's much less info duplication > leading to the inevitable consistency that comes from it. I guess that will work then. Best regards Tim Düsterhus
