[eclipse-dev] New target milestones for maintenance branches

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As discussed in this week's architecture
call, The Eclipse PMC would like a public way to track what bug fixes are
released into older maintenance branches (R3_4_maintenance and earlier).
 Committers will sometimes release fixes for severe defects into these
older development branches for support purposes, but we currently have
no way other than comparing CVS branches to see what fixes have been released.
To support this goal, I have created the following new bugzilla target
milestones for Platform/JDT/PDE:

3.3.2+  -> For fixes released
into the R3_3_maintenance branch *after* the 3.3.2 release
3.4.2+  -> For fixes released
into the R3_4_maintenance branch *after* the 3.4.2 release
3.5.2+  -> For fixes released
into the R3_5_maintenance branch *after* the 3.5.2 release (nobody should
be using this yet)

Please use these target milestones from
now on for bug fixes that are released into these older maintenance streams.
This will allow everyone in the community who may be interested in viewing/consuming
these fixes to find them.
