Re: bugzilla: is "Version: cvs" useful? What about Version/GNOME Version?

What is the interest of this granularity? At the moment I use nautilus
2.11.90, I'll open a bug a bug as 2.11.x, somebody using 2.11.0 will use
the same version. You don't have a difference between these 2 versions,
but you want to differenciate 2.9.90 from the cvs? Usually people also
use the comment to specify is they use a jhbuild, a distro, what
version, ...

No. Sometime I decide to search for nautilus 2.6.x bugs to update these
bugs by example. By doing this you know than 2.6.x bugs need an update
(either be closed or update to 2.11.x) ... what information do you have
by doing a query on "cvs"? You will get GNOME 1 bugs as well as GNOME
2.11 bugs.

Right, maybe this one is not to change.
