What the heck is this bug about? :)

Sounds like tagging docs with, e.g., "Firefox 15" and "Webkit 534" - stuff like that?

Oh yes. This is about being able to mark content (articles or blocks within them) as applying to specific products or versions (or sets thereof). Right.

Sheppy: Is this still something you see yourself using?

Yes, frequently. It would also be used for content curation and to let users specify what compatibility needs they have and only see relevant content.

Isn't this something you would do with Template:CustomCSS? What is needed from the dev team?

We need UI for this, to make it easy for people to flag content as specific for given versions of browsers and the like. Using CSS under the hood makes sense, but there needs to be a button for "Mark content compatibility" (or whatever) that pops up UI for selecting product(s) and a version range for compatibility.
