MacPorts version specific milestones, no more!

	So, long after realizing that having MacPorts version specific  
milestones up on the Trac Roadmap doesn't work one bit unless we have  
a defined set of goals for each release (as was naturally concluded  
from Jordan's "Objection your Honor, Counselor is leading the  
witness!" type of question last week), I finally got my act together  
and closed/deleted such milestones.

	I closed the 1.5 milestone as I'm sure we can consider that release  
set already over, and deleted the 1.6 milestone, retargetting all  
tickets in both as either base bugs or base enhancements. Further  
tickets against base should be filed as either one of those, bugs or  
enhancements, just as we have for ports.

	Version specific milestones can be brought back to life once we  
start defining clear and specific goals for each release, but not  
before as all they add is confusion. One thing we can do in the mean  
time, I'd suggest, is create a version specific milestone for a  
particular set of releases after such is considered over (that is,  
when we start another one, e.g. 1.7 and leave 1.6 behind), and  
reclassify tickets that were closed in the relevant timeframe into  
it... if such work flow does not prove to be too much of a hassle.

	Mark, Simon, Maun Suang, could you guys amend the #project.tickets  
section of the guide as appropriate to reflect this new workflow?  
Thanks!

	Regards,...
