I fully agree to Manoj. Keeping bugs present in "bo" but fixed in "hamm"
open, does not make much sense. If people want it this way, the bug
tracking system should be extended to differentiate between the different
releases:
A bug can exist in a package in one or more releases, and it can be fixed
in one or more releases, etc.
Cheers,
Chris
