This is fairly trivial, but I'm thinking we'd help things by separating those issues that simply "need to be done as a part of every release" vs. actual issues targeted at a specific release. I see two ways to help: a) Add a new version with, instead of a "-dev" extension, have "-rel" suffix. Then, we agree that the workflow is: a1) "x-dev" issues to zero a2) code freeze a3) "x-rel" issues to zero a4) release OR b) We add these "need to be done as a part of every release" issues to a new "Release" component so that they might be easily filtered out. Anyway, trivial, but I think the separation is helpful to reviewing "real" issues vs those that simply need to be done before release. --tim
