There are two scenarios here:
	1. People who need to upgrade to the latest stable version for their
platform. For these we could put some magic on the bugzilla-bugbuddy xml
stuff (or the bugzilla mail backend) to not accept reports from versions
that are too old. We could decide on a case by case basis per module. I
would be willing to try and implement this.

	2. People who have the latest stable version, but on an old platform.
We still need these reports. It's arrogant to close a report simply
because it's not on the platform YOU are hacking.

thanks,
