Why do we have versions on Mac OS X? How about we combine them all?
It can make a big difference in the bug. The X.org version in OS X
(partially?) depends on what OS X version you have. Some bugs will
only show up in Tiger, because Leopard has them fixed on Apple's
end.
(Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, this is based off of what
I've
seen on wine-users).
By that logic we neeed to have all versions of Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.
listed as well.
I'd say the analogy is closer to having Linux 2.4/2.6, but I get
your point.
I'm fine with combining those.
One big difference is that upgrading from Tiger to Leopard costs
money, unlike upgrading Linux. So, it's not as simple to just tell a
user to upgrade to fix their problem.
(I don't interact with Bugzilla much, so I'm not weighing in on what
suits the needs of bug wranglers. Just raising a point.)
