Imho it's just clutter.

More in general, most of the issues have a "fix for" version that is
purely a wish, a issue gets fixed if it's a "stop the world" thing or
if it has resourcing behind it (core developer spare time, company,
or an occasional contributor with a patch).

>From that point of view I'd wish that people stopped flagging the
"fix for" unless there is something backing the work to fix the issue,
otherwise people look at jira and say "oh, this one is scheduled for
2.1.4" when that one has been around since, maybe, 2.1-beta1,
has just been moved forward over and over, and it's not
really going to be fixed anytime soon (just making it up, don't know
if there is any issue in the state I've described, but I've seen many
being just moved forward repeatedly).

Don't really think it's feasible, nobody can know if a report has
backing when it's opened, but I find it troublesome that we're
sending out the wrong message
