Say for example we decide not to release a specific version we can easily find all the relevant bug reports and update the milestone version. Also it will help reminds developers to even put this information in, compared to the current state of affairs where the tendency to not note anything. Finally this information will be a in a fixed location in a fixed format, compared to in the comments where additional comments can clutter this information away. Finally the RM can target any relevant open bugs easily this way and quickly get to them. I see only advantages and no real disadvantage. regards, Lukas
