CURRENTRELEASE is clearly only for niche cases by both the RHEL and
Fedora definitions. RHEL: "CURRENTRELEASE - The problem described has
been fixed and only ever appeared in unsupported or unreleased
products." Fedora: "The resolution CURRENTRELEASE is to be used in the
case where a bug is reported before a release is made, and subsequently
discovered to be fixed in the final release. For instance, a bug is
reported against Fedora 18 while it is still in the pre-release stages,
and remains open when the release is made; however, when the final
Fedora 18 is made, the reporter re-tests and discovers the bug was
actually fixed. In this case, the CURRENTRELEASE resolution is used."

Both of those make it pretty clear it's only to be used in specific,
fairly unusual circumstances, not as the routine resolution for a bug
filed through Bugzilla, accepted by the maintainer, and fixed in the
normal course of events. (Though I think the name is a bit confusing if
you're just trying to figure out what resolution to use based on the
names alone). ERRATA is the 'correct' resolution for that case for both
RHEL (post-release at least) and Fedora (post-Branched).
