 === Target Milestone===
-* For ''RESOLVED - FIXED'': should show the earliest ''SeaMonkey'' version for what the bug has been fixed (known fix). Target information can be used in queries much more effected than the ''Status Flag'' "fixed" to find out with what version a particular problem became solved by a fix.
+* For ''RESOLVED - FIXED'': per currently established bugzilla practice, it should show the ''SeaMonkey'' version for which the bug has been fixed (known fix) on trunk (i.e., comm-central), even if it was subsequently uplifted to any branch. This target information may have to be used in queries along with the ''Status Flag'' "fixed" to find out with what version a particular problem became solved by a fix.
 * For ''RESOLVED - WORKSFORME'' or similar resolution: Shows the earliest ''SeaMonkey'' version behind ''Version'' for what the bug now longer is reproducible (fix unknown)
-Together with ''Version'', ''Target Milestone''  marks the Range of (SeaMonkey) versions with the reported problem. This range-information is important for several useful Bugzilla-Queries, for example
+Together with ''Version'', ''Target Milestone'' and the status flags mark the Range of (SeaMonkey) versions with the reported problem. This range-information is important for several useful Bugzilla-Queries, for example
 * Decision whether you should update to a later version or whether that version contains regressions which are fatal for you.
 : This [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=dorem&remaction=run&namedcmd=SM2.47PossibleRegressions&sharer_id=41036&list_id=13327785 example] (Bugzilla account required) shows a query for the decision "should I update from SeaMonkey 2.40 to 2.47?". It lists problems (some still UNCONFIRMED) which appeared after ''Version'' '''2.40''',  but still have not become FIXED for ''Target Miestone'' '''2.47'''.
