A new bug is filed. How do you expect us to know what versions of a package
have that bug? Just assuming that the current version installed on the users
machine is wrong.
The bug system has no concept of versions. And, such support is a long ways
off(Anthony and I have disccussed it, and, while I don't believe we both have
the same ideas for implementation, we do agree that it's not simple). There
can be lots of variables into why 'random bug ######' exists, that to have
simple stmts that 'we should check all those bugs' be given, and magically
start having sid/woody tags applied, shows a lack of understanding on the
stater.
