Yea, that is a good idea. If you look at the release notes the fixes we
usually do for minor releases are so small there is no need to report
them before the minor release. This is kind of a rare case.
Those bug dbs are great for tracking stuff, but getting stuff in there
and keeping it managed is pretty hard.
