That would be extremely useful.  If a feature patch is targeted at 4.7, great, 
let's review it.  But if the author says that it's targeted for 4.8 or later, 
then at least for right now I would rather spend time on patches aimed at 
4.7, unless they're extremely cool-looking. :-)  

This would probably mean patches flagged as "post-4.7 target" won't get as 
much attention until after 4.7 ships.  That is a good thing, as attention 
should be focused on 4.7-related issues until then.

which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
