[rfc] Should we "block" bugreports for the latest stable releases of KDE apps?

Hi,
there's the following warning on https://bugs.kde.org/wizard.cgi
"You are not using a recent KDE version. Since your bug is likely to be fixed
already in more recent versions of KDE you can no longer submit bugs against
your version of KDE. If possible, please update your KDE version and see
whether the problem persists. If it does, please re-submit your bug with the
new KDE version. You can download updated KDE versions from the KDE Web Site
or one of the many mirror sites. You can also check the homepage of your
operating system or distribution's vendor to see if there are customized KDE
versions available for your system."
This is obviously good for KDE (desktop) itself, but not for apps with
different release schedules.
I propose to:
1. Change the last item of KDE version to "Any version older than 3.5.8"
2. Add this sentence:
"If you use KDE older than 3.5.8 and claim that the bug may be independent of
KDE version, please select 3.5.8 version below."
Alternatively, could it be possible to add "KDE 3, the report is independent
of exact KDE version" item to the list?
