Hm this doesn't help me since I have tasks which I want to achieve for the next release (e.g. 5.2) and some which I want for "any minor release" thereafter. It is merely a todo list for myself. If it is about the bumping then I am happy to bump my own tasks but I need to maintain the list for the next minor release. As long as it is not closed it is not 100% sure anyway. 

Why don't we accept that any "fix in" for a non-closed task is a bad estimate. No guarantee. Then we don't have any problems here.
