I still disagree :) I don't see that many benefits and I see potential issues that cause headaches for users and contributors alike. > > 2- I think the "all versions" items are unnecessary... as far as I > remember that was an item created for the BSA which is now not > supported anymore. when we ask users to define the "earlier version" > where the bug appeared we want them to exactly define in which release > the bug appeared... so this generic "all versions" item is in contrast > with our policy.

I don't think we should be tinkering a lot unless there is a real gain. Again, here I see no real gain. Others have appropriately criticized the QA team for "tinkering too much" and I think that we should really think about if there is something concrete to gain before tinkering a bunch.
