If there's a unique release name then we can segragate reports in the database on a per-release basis. This would include alpha and beta releases so when we finally adopt a proper release process those who have alpha or beta copies will have the PR's labelled as such and we can look up just bug reports for any particular cycle of a release. Gnats is currently very broken in this respect because releases go out the door without the send-pr version getting bumped. -- Paul Richards, Bluebird Computer Systems. FreeBSD core team member.
