I'm not sure its always fine. Nor am I sure that its ever a slap in the face. The truth is is probably in between. There is probably something to be said about tracking deficiencies accurately on a release by release basis from a non-maintainer point of view. Unfortunately our ticketing tool doesn't do a great job at this, as we can't take one ticket and mark multiple release branches it affects and which of those release branches the fix is provided. -jef" <Miracle Max/>It just so happens that your bug here is only MOSTLY dead.
