Hi Ferenc,

I think that's a good idea. It will help to have more accurate targets 
with almost no cost - it's just the matter of adding two more elements 
to this array:

https://github.com/php/web-bugs/blob/master/include/php_versions.php#L15

This would probably require description somewhere. Many of bug fields 
(or bugtracker possibilities in general) are already misused or just 
ignored and we should note that next-minor/next-major are meant for 
Feature Requests.

Thanks,
Maciej.
