On the other hand, reporters pick a random version, but have the exact package names+version in the #0 comment (which does not always match). The template also asks for the version and other required points, these should not be seen as optional. For bug triaging it makes query'ing sorting through bugs easier. Doing a regular expression search/match on versions is the only way we can currently construct complete lists of 3.7.x bugs. Being anle to query on version=3.7 should help all the maintainers in constructing their searches, rss-feeds and email filters. People should not report bugs against 3.7.13 and earlier 3.7.x versions anymore, those will not get updated in any case. The current notation suggests users that they can stay on a 3.7.x version, and get updates for them. I would like to encourage users to take 3.7 as a version, and they should not care (and update automatically) to the latest 3.7.x.
