159222 - need more milestones: mozilla1.3a/b, mozilla1.4a/b, mozilla1.5a/b

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

The Browser component should have more milestones, at least 1.1 and 1.2 would be
nice, but even some after that would be no bad idea.

People have already started using ancient milestones for bug categorization due
to lack of more than 3 future milestones, which makes them useless for the
purpose of finding out when a bug is likely to be fixed.

mozillaV<release> is driven by keywords so there's no need for those target
milestones, but we do need a few more future points so people don't decide to
abuse the older milestones.

releases are not driven by keywords, they're driven by drivers and developers
sending drivers requests for approval. how would you mark a bug that you'd want
to fix for 1.2 RTM?

i'd attach a patch, set the milestone to 1.3a, add mozilla1.2 to the keyword
list, and email drivers.

hm.... if you insist on that...
having the milestones mentioned in the summary would already be a great step ahead

We now have milestones till January. If you're planning past january with a 5
week granularity then I suspect you're ahead of the pack.

been given the extra milestones.
