I have a concern that non-developers will use the Milestone 
field to determine what we (OLPC as an organization) are planning 
on supporting in a given release and not as a wishlist item. 
I suggest this field should only be set by one of the release
release team members once the team is comfortable promissing 
a feature/bugfix to based on develper feedback and prioritization
based on end-user inputs.
