The way I see it, we need a set of "Is applicable to version x"
keywords, and "Bug squad is keyword-milestoning this to version x"
keywords. So how about:

BUG2.0.x = "Bug is in the 2.0.x series" (this is slowly losing
usefulness now)
BUG2.1.x = "Bug is in the 2.1.x series"

GNOME2.2, GNOME2.2.0 etc = "Bug squad are keyword-milestoning this to
version x"

_Please_ don't put colons in keywords. Punctuation is bad, it makes for
typos.

What do you think?
