I think that is a fair point, and I see 2 possible ways of doing it.

One is that we could add a "stable release" series and add a bug
target for that series for things that are important fixes relative to
the last stable release.

Or we could only mark things Fix Released when it goes to a stable
release.

Although, if we have it in a dev release someone *could* get access to
it if it was critically important. (vs having to build from source.)
But the fact that we aren't guaranteeing they'll be able to upgrade
away from a dev release means that may not be sufficient to ever point
them to.
