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.

Do we have a system for keeping the moving target/head  issues attached
to head. I understand and appreciate having dev versions for each
release, I'm frustrated that I'm too busy to get to use them at the
moment.
