Please don't.  Bugzilla Target Milestone field is intended
for open bugs -- to track what to get done in a particular
version, timeframe, ...  Generally, it's a classification of
when in the future the issue is expected to be resolved.

(The stricter Gnome Target Milestone means that Gnome X.Y
cannot be released until all open bugs with X.Y milestone
are fixed.)

The list is incomplete anyway.  What about 322035, 383456,
445596, 450338, 465365, 466559?

If you want to know bugs fixed since the last gtk-doc
release, just ask bugzilla for it.

While 1.10 target milestone is a good idea, I'm going to
mark bugs that should be fixed in 1.10 with it (e.g. the
postponed VPATH stuff) because this is what this flag means.

Considering interesting error messages vary wildly (from perl
complaints such as `Use of uninitialized value...' to various
WARNINGs to xsltproc messages), how we find them in the
flood?
