Pretty much.

6.x-dev vs. 5.x-dev is great, as it clearly defines "this is  
something that should get fixed in this release" vs. "this is  
something we should put off until the next release."

Where things get sticky for me are things like 5.0-beta1 vs. 5.x-dev  
and 4.7.4 vs. 4.7-dev.

Should things only get filed against 5.0-beta1 / 4.7.4 if they were  
fixed in that version? Or should they be filed in that version if  
they were originally spotted in that version? Are 5.0-beta1 / 4.7.4  
for "end users" to report bugs as opposed to 5.x-dev /4.7-dev which  
are for "developers" to report bugs? Or..?

To be fair, this wasn't clear to me before the new release system  
either, but as long you invited people to ask. ;)
