impractical how? I can manage it just fine. If I want to find all D2 bugs, I
just select the first D2 version, then shift click the last version. It takes
all of 5 seconds.
What's happening now is, people are selecting 'future', or I guess now they
will select 'D2', and then report their compiler/phobos version in the report
text, which is much harder to search for.
How would I search for bugs reported before or since some version? Going by
date doesn't work, as I've said before. People do not update their compilers
often, as the process is somewhat of a pain.
I don't know what the resistance is to having more information... Do others
besides Don and you feel the version numbers have no value? Namely, I'm asking
phobos developers who fix bugs, not dmd developers.
