Hmm. Ambiguity:

1. "This bug is related to the GNOME-2 platform and cannot be fixed in a
2.0.x release. It might be fixed in a 2.1.x or 2.2.x release." (This is
the analogy of the GNOME2 keyword).

2. "This bug is related to the GNOME-2 platform and _should_ be fixed by
or in the 2.2.x series.

I've been looking at the open gedit bugs and ran into this problem - I
still don't know what the keyword means :-)
