It's a good idea. We already have subprojects (bugs, enhancements, and  
user-requested enhancements). I hope to eliminate use of the bugs and  
enhancements subprojects in 1.1 and use categories instead (moving the  
current categories to tags). We might be able to implement this then.  
Unfortunately, our vendor sometimes takes several years to fix bugs so  
we'd need to maintain the category list for all of the version  
projects. That would still simplify things.
