ISTM that the "versions" field is not very useful if the other fields are filled accurately.

For example, feature requests almost always only belong to the current trunk. Yes, for features that fall under the moratorium, the "versions" field would be different; however, we already have an "after moratorium" keyword that signifies this. Other than this, we currently don't assign feature requests to specific milestones, and I don't ever see us doing that. Bug reports by nature almost always belong to all branches in maintenance;

For various reasons, there bugs that are 2.x or 3.x specific. Those that are not may require sufficiently different fixes that a fix is applied for one branch while the issue is left open for the other.
