Re: [edk2-devel] Need newer releases/tags added to TianoCore Bugzilla

Rebecca,

The current use of that field is to identify previous
releases that a bug fix needs to be propagated to.

We do not know the exact release name for future releases
until we make the release.

I recommend you use the "Deadline" field to provide
the date the feature must be implemented, reviewed,
and committed in order to make the release that is
targeted.  

In many cases the set of work items for a specific 
target release need to have deadlines well before 
the soft/hard freeze dates and will not have the 
same deadline date.  Only providing the target release
name is not enough to properly plan tasks.

Thanks,

Mike
