Re: [emf-dev] What happened to bugzilla's Target Milestones?

["Christian W. Damus" <cdamus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Nick,

All of my in-plan bugs were tagged with the generic M4, M5, etc.  
milestones.  That information must now be recovered (manually, by me)  
as all of these bugs are now targeted for "Past".

Also, it is conventional across all Eclipse projects to target in-plan  
committed enhancements against specific milestones.  This is not a  
matter of opinion.  The convention also includes using the release  
number as a target milestone to indicate "proposed for this release  
but not definitely planned into a milestone."  Should I use the  
"Galileo" target for this purpose, now?

It would have been nice to discuss a change of this kind of cross- 
component scope on the mailing list before it happened, so that we  
could assess the impact.

Cheers,

Christian
