bugzilla product "versions"

This may have been documented somewhere but I have not seen it.  Therefore, 
the question:  What should we be using for the product "version" when 
reporting (or searching for) Fedora Core bugs in bugzilla. 

Obviously, where dealing with production Fedora Core 3 we should use fc3 or 
for Fedora Core 2 we should use fc2.  I also noticed that "rawhide" is no 
longer defined but we not have "devel" (which makes a lot of sense since the 
directory tree is now "development" instead of "rawhide".

I did not participate in the FC3 testing round but I notice that there are 
versions fc3test1, fc3test2, and fc3test3.  It makes a lot of sense to me 
that during the fc3 testing round, the reports would be fc3test1, etc. and 
that we can expect fc4test1, etc. when testing begins for fc4.

However, test1, test2, and test3 are still defined and are being used to 
report new bugs (e.g., 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=147893).  Should these 
version continue to be used (I do not believe so)?  Is the intent for fc4 to 
go back to using a common test1, etc. rather than fc4test1, etc.?

When searching to see if a bug has been reported, it is a bit of a pain to 
search both fcntesti and testi.  I suggest that test1, etc. should be 
disabled for new bugs relating to Fedora Core.
