What if we add "JIRA version" that is literally named "next release"? To be more flexible we could have a couple of "next" versions (see below).
We set "fix version" == "next release version". Roadmap tab in JIRA (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:roadmap-panel) shows the number of open/fixed versions. When you click "release version" in jira, it will warn you on every non-fixed issue and suggest to move it to another version (here the second "next" could be helpful) Does that make sense? If we go with label approach, we'll have to manually track labels, remove them from fixed issues, etc. Vladimir
