Jason,
Generating and maintaining that metadata is likely to be expensive. I wonder if search based criteria like "open issues with affects <= current.version" is a more sustainable model in the long run. It's also consistent with the way we use resolved -- we use them to timebox periods we know an issue is open, etc.
Last time I looked at this, I couldn't figure out how to write a query that compared affects versions. Affects versions behaved more like tags than like scalars. That said, if someone can write better queries for the pages representing the releases, or otherwise come up with the reporting that would accommodate version tagging as timeboxing rather than labeling, I can get behind changing our practice. I'm inclined to advocate for clinging to the idea of keeping the tags correct in absence of reporting that works when they don't properly tag.
Maintaining the metadata would be less expensive if we had fewer open issues to maintain, by virtue of having resolved them.
