Meta-bug conversions

Hi,
I propose to use what would hopefully be better concepts to replace the
following meta-bugs:
* bug 35 - Wine 0.9.0 Meta Bug
http://bugs.winehq.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=35
Instead we could tag all the bug that should be fixed in Wine 0.9.0
with the 0.9.0 target milestone.
* bug 395 - Tasklist
http://bugs.winehq.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=395
* bug 455 - FIXMEs
http://bugs.winehq.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=455
* bug 406- Tasklets
http://bugs.winehq.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=406
These three could be replaced by keywords: Tasklist, FIXMEs and
Tasklets. Then these bugs can be replaced with a query that returns the
bugs that have these keywords.
In all cases, the advantages of the alternative methods are:
* the above meta-bugs introduce artificial dependencies between bugs
* each time a bug changes status, you get an email for the bug, and an
email for the corresponding meta-bug
* similarly, moving a bug moving from one category to another generates
three emails
* the new concepts seem a better match
Does the above proposal look ok? If so then, once the required keywords
are created, I can tag the relevant bugs and retire the meta-bugs (which
will create a flurry of emails to wine-bugs in the short term).

I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape around here somewhere...
