the (publicly available) list of issues marked as 'Future' and
consider them to be high priority since they are in the "queue". If you did
not do that until now and do not plan to do it, then sure, it's useless.
How else do you/we keep track of important issues across time/versions? I
don`t imagine that a personal list would be the solution for the whole
(public) open source project.
The current approach (with the 'Future' marker) still seems to me to be an
uncomplicated solution to this problem. I don`t even feel the need for the
NEW and OPEN markers as Sergiu suggested, since we have "In Progress" and
"Future" to differentiate between actively or "passively" working on
an
issue. Also, there is the "Assigned" field that represents the fact that a
*committer* is engaged to fix the issue (can be at his own will) and there
is the 'Future' version that represents that the *community/project* is
engaged in fixing the issue as soon as possible, even if there is currently
no assigned committer. Without such a marker, our reporters might get a
sense of abandonment if they see no activity on their issue.
Anyway, that's all I had to say on the matter. Maybe your experience with
issue/roadmap management is more likely to be correct compared with my
above judgement.
Thanks,

I agree with Edy. For me "Future" means
"reviewed and not planned for
any time soon".
The problem is not the meaning; we understand why we introduced it...
Can you explain to me how you've been using it?
If you check current stats you'll see some marked "future" and the vast
majority not scheduled. The reason is that we're not using it and honestly
I have no clue how to use it properly because once you mark one as future
what do you do with it?
I imagined that, before Roadmap meetings for the next release/cycle, you And since we don't have more visibility than the
current release there's
no way to decide further than that if it's planned for the current release
then we set the fixfor for the current release...
