First, I would say that whatever makes bugzilla work for you in
getting Nautilus under control is what we should do. However, we
already have two overlapping designations to distinguish GNOME 2
Nautilus bugs that we've already tried to implement (obviously with
only limited success). First, Darin has long used the milestone label
"1.1.x" to distinguish bugs that needed to be fixed for GNOME
2. Second, Louie added the "GNOME2" keyword. Those are the two
designators that I've been trying to use as I categorize incoming
Nautilus bugs.[1]

Is there some reason we shouldn't use those two designations to
distinguish GNOME 2 Nautilus bugs?

Cheers,

[1] Not to complicate things, but we also have the "old" milestone,
which is musty old bugs from the Eazel days, most of which are either
enhancement requests or code tweaking "FIXME's". This makes up the
majority of Nautilus bugs (959 at current count).
