+The way I see it, a cauldron bug has a lower priority than a Mageia 1 or 2 
+bug, since the cauldron bug must be fixed before Mageia 3, whereas users 
+already actually use Mageia 1 and Mageia 2 and can be affected by the bug.
+
+So if creating actual bug reports for Mageia 2 would increase the chance for 
+the bug to be taken care of, I would still favor cloning every open still 
+valid bug in Mageia 2.

+MGA2TOO on the whiteboard could be enough maybe, provided packagers actually 
+know how to use it (it means that a search for MGA2 bugs must take into 
+account both those set to MGA2 and those with the MGA2TOO text in whiteboard), 
+but it will make statistics harder to build.
