It's interesting how many old bugzilla issues are still open though they're done

The version information is just not useful. There are only 3 useful 
versions: D1 only, D2 only, and both. Bugzilla's full of comments by 
people worrying about how they had to select 1.045 because 1.046 wasn't 
in the list yet. But it's completely useful information. (If you ever 
needed the compiler version (which you never do), you can estimate the 
compiler version from the date the bug was submitted).
