I also advocating changing the "Gnome target:" field as it appears on the bug forms (show_bug, the search pages, etc) to something that makes its meaning more obvious like "Blocks Gnome version:". This would go a long way to preventing its inappropriate use (I just went through Bugzilla and fixed a bunch of bugs which had this inappropriately set). Elijah pointed out that the only reason this might be a problem is because of the bug search interface which allows you to specify, for example "gnome-target:2.14.x" and is expected to maintain some sort of backward compatibility.
