This would just create confusion, I fear. First of all, there are
quite some ways to refer to the same version of the distro: FC2T3,
Fedora test 3, etc.... The real way to do this, if any, would be to
do as with Red Hat, one list per release.

The real problem, however, is that the "triage" you mention below
works to speed things up only if used to answer to well formed
questions (see my other reply to this thread) and ignore all the
others.
