Fedora Core product description still says 'test1'

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031003 Description of problem: When someone clicks on "Fedora Core" in the Product list, the Description box will show text that contains, in its second sentence: "If reporting against a 'test release' then please choose 'test1' as the version." Only problem is that the Fedora Core project is already on 'test2', and is slated to release a 'test3' next week. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ensure that your browser is JavaScript (1.2 or higher) capable. 2. Go to the URL specified above. 3. Click on "Fedora Core" in the Product list. Actual Results: The Description text makes explicit reference to 'test1' and not the more recent test versions. Expected Results: The Description text should either say to choose the appropriate version one is testing with, or say that one should be using the LATEST test version (whatever that might be). Additional info: A good number of us are already aware that there is a 'test2' version and are, in fact, actively using it. Additionally, a good number of us are also aware of the 'test3' version scheduled to come out next week. However, some folks still might not be aware that there are other test versions more recent that 'test1'. Also, some folks might think after reading the descriptive text mentioned above that they're supposed to log bugs of any and all versions as bugs of 'test1'. At the very least, the description as is stands now is very confusing.
Where is this Product List? There is no URL supplied with this bug.
It's not in the "Bug Information" or "Past Comments" sections (perhaps that's another bug?), but it is in an editable field with the red-colored label "URL", in the "Edit Bug Information" section (i.e., the section I used to type in this very comment). If you still can't see it, then that's another issue.
sorry for not reading carefully. just noticed this is a bugzilla bug and has been re-filed accordingly.
Yes, these "Version" values test1, test2, test3, and devel, are just temporary properties, not real product versions. So the list - 1 - 2 - devel - test1 - test2 - test3 should be - 1 - 2 - 3 and the property test*/devel should be stored elsewhere (keyword?). With the current Version values, all bug Version test*/devel values should be updated when a product is promoted. I don't think this is currently being done. I think FC1 and FC2 bugs are now mixed quite badly because of this problem.
