Doesn't change the fact that an issue filed against 'HEAD' will probably remain in HEAD as HEAD moves forward until closed. Creating a release doesn't make the bugs in head disappear. Releasing a major version doesn't make the bugs in head go away.
i still think there's value in knowing what version the bug was reported against in the first place. if we want to say "show me all the still-open bugs that were submitted for 4.7.x" we still can, but we'd know that those are a different class of urgency than the new bugs reported for 5.x (critical vs. normal vs. minor aside). it's easy to query for what you want to know if you have a more specific classification system. if you just lump everything together into something called "HEAD", it's impossible to usefully filter the stuff back out again depending on what you want to know. that's how i see it... -derek
