woo hoo! a lot of local testing and a tiny few lines diff to issue.inc (now applied to drupal.org), and the "x.y.z" version is hereby doomed to eventual extinction... a) it's gone from the list of options when submitting a new issue b) if you try to reply to an issue already marked as x.y.z, you immediately get a validation error: "x.y.z is not a valid version, please select a different value." and once more, "x.y.z" is gone from the list of choices. c) you can still see issues marked as "x.y.z" in the issue queue when doing regular queries, so it's not invisible or impossible to find them[1]. they just can't stay this way. ;) to re-iterate -- if you're dealing with an "x.y.z" issue, you should re-assign it to: 6.x-dev -- feature request 5.x-dev -- bug report/task for 5.x 4.7.x-dev bugs/tasks for 4.7.5 and beyond (now exists, for the DRUPAL-4-7 snapshot releases) 4.6.10 -- bugs only relevant in 4.6.10 (i'm assuming we don't want do do DRUPAL-4-6 snapshot builds) won't fix/closed for anything else. ;) (although, i guess it forces you to select a different version, so just use your best judgement about what old version that issue was from, doesn't really matter that much...) is everyone happy with this? thanks, -derek [1] http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&versions=94702
