Version Fixed doesn't have to be a multi-select if Bugzilla continues to
recognize one bug is one software change in one branch.  I just mean
that the choices for those three fields should be the same per product,
and contain a sortkey field.

Sortkeys.  Works for Target Milestone nicely.

Which brings me to another nit, if we have sortkeys, we shouldn't also
sort by the value within that.  Take an example of two targets that have
the same sortkey, and then each bug has a deadline. 

Bug  product   target        deadline
1    product1  next_release  2008/06/01
7    product1  next_release  2008/07/02
4    product2  other_product 2008/06/01

Ok, off the soapbox, we can get back to the original discussion.
