 Back in the day, after reading exactly these docs, I was setting to
 `trunk` pretty much every ticket I opened (because 99% of the bugs and
 issues I found were discovered while using `trunk`)

 But I can't remember which long-standing committer (Peter, Aaron, or
 Sergey), told me that the version was meant to point out when the bug was
 introduced, not discovered. I think that these docs must be updated
 because they are misleading.

 From that day, while triaging my components, I remove the version when I'm
 confident that it's not set to when it was introduced (but I have not dug
 into it deeper to find the exact moment when it was introduced).

 So technically it was minimally introduced in 4.7 (broken by design).
