Maybe, maybe not.

Sure that makes sense in the short term, but how/when do you change them?  Thats 
  precisely the problem (not ever changing rawhide bugs to a release version) 
which resulted in several year old bugs being open against 'rawhide' for code 
that will never be touched again.  Searching 'rawhide' bugs is much less useful 
when its that cluttered... and thats very bad for testers trying not to report 
duplicate bugs.

So the question is, if not NOW at release, then when should those open bugs be 
changed to a release version?  How much harder would it be to do later than it 
is now?
