Okay, this is actually a bit more complicated than I had hoped.  The
issue is that the workflow used by the ASF JIRA does not allow for bulk
editing for closed issues.  So, our three options are:

1) Say forget it.
2) Re-open the "incorrect" closed issues and then close them again with
the new fix version.
3) Request the infra folks involved to modify or create a new workflow
per [1].

I'm still a fan of the change, but it appears I'm the only one to have
complained thus far, so 1) may be a viable option.  2) we can do on our
own.  We'll just see a temporary flood of email as the issues are opened
and then closed (maybe about 20 total).  3) seems like a better long
term solution, but requires outside assistance that may not be granted.

Thoughts?
