Well, a keyword can be changed, especially one with such a dreadful
spelling error, and I don't think it is actually needed, as a bug in
status NEW is confirmed. The wording is misleading currently, there is
a wish to the b.k.o maintainers to change the wording of the status
NEW to CONFIRMED

No, I don't think so. Currently many products already use the latest
version in the Version field and I have, at least until now, never
seen a user argue over that

I doesn't make sens to keep the version field with the old number
since we anyway don't do either backports nor do we maintain several
stable branches where this would make sense. There is an option in
bugzilla which is currently not used in b.k.o to have additional
fields for "Works in:" and "Fails in:" but those are really only
useful for projects maintaining several stable branches.

Yes I did, but you added it as a comment in my About page, not as a
comment to the actual blog post. There even is an answer from me
there: http://blogs.fsfe.org/myriam/about :)
