Background
Bug and fix rules
Bug persistence: A bug found in a specific version is generally also present in all earlier versions. For example, a bug in version 3.3.8 usually exists in earlier versions such as 3.3.2 and 3.2.0. Any exceptions are clearly noted.
Fix inclusion: A bug fixed in a specific version remains fixed in all subsequent versions. For example, a bug fixed in version 3.3.8 is also fixed in 3.3.13 and all later versions.
