Remembered that wrongly, sorry. IMO it should still be ERRATA rather
than CURRENTRELEASE, as the latter implies (to me anyway) that it is
fixed in the current release of the product (e.g. F-10), and that you
shouldn't expect an update for the product release you reported against
(e.g. F-9). This is bad because right now we have one bug tracker
(bugzilla.redhat.com) where these resolution values are used
inconsistently between products (Red Hat products vs. Fedora products).

I won't be filing bugs against Bodhi, though, since this is a question
of policy where the proper discussion forum isn't Bodhi's bug tracker
IMO.
