That's easy to do, if we agree that it's the right thing to do. What  
do you think, Rene?

The only issue here is that we don't release code from the trunk;  
there's an extra merge-to-release step that has to occur before the  
bug is really "fixed" from the perspective of our users. Should the  
bug be considered "fixed" before the change is merged to the release  
branch?
