Hi Pierre, I understand what you propose and it makes sense; I am onlya bit worried about the confusion of having tom many versions in Jira. For example, if a bug fix is provided for the 10.04 series, then it should be most likely planned to be included in the upcoming release 10.04.02; I don't see a benefit of having also 10.04.03, 10.04.04, 10.04.05 in Jira. We could instead create 10.04.03 when 10.04.02 is released.
But I don't have a strong opinion on this; but before creating new versions in Jira I would like to get also the point of view of others.
