Fair enough. What I was hoping to achieve was some idea of when to cut

nice is knowing what open issues need to be fixed before we release
2.0.3 and what can wait until a 2.0.4.

From experience I am skeptical about that. We sort of tried this before, and it never really worked because of the volunteer nature of the project. The most honest thing to do would be to leave "Fix Version" blank, until the fix is actually ready to be committed.

That's been my experience as well with open source projects. Winging it might not be the best for users but seems to work in practice. And anyone who really really really wants a bug fixed can volunteer to fix it.

Currently we may set it to "3.0", which is vague enough to give us breathing space. Presetting it to 3.0M1 or anything as specific will be too optimistic and in most cases - misleading.
