Closing bugs as UPSTREAM is ambiguous if you close both bugs that are
fixed and not yet fixed upstream. That is why I think the tag UPSTREAM
should be reserved for bugs that have not yet been fixed (upstream), and
thus need tracking upstream.

Bugs that are already fixed upstream and for which patches flow back
into the distro can be tagged as CURRENTRELEASE (or NEXTRELEASE if the
patch only gets applied in the next release (currently FC 2)).

So what I want to achieve is to avoid this ambiguity.

Leonard.
