Hi all,

I am not sure of the bug status list in launchpad is configurable per
project. I just want to discuss a use case where the status 'Fix
available' can be useful.

Use case - I have filed a bug against a package (ex. liferea) in
particular version of Ubuntu. This bug gets forwarded upstream and is
fixed in new version of package. Unfortunately for some reason the fix
can not be introduced in the same version of Ubuntu on which it was
reported. Six months later the new version of Ubuntu is released which
includes newer version of package and so the fix. The bug is marked as
'Fix Released'. This is confusing as the fix is never going to be
available on same Ubuntu version against which the bug was reported.
'Fix Available' status will give better (not perfect) indication that
the user will have to upgrade the distro if he wants the fix.
