I had a play with series vs milestones and quite like using a
milestone.  I've set the year on it to 2099 so it always appears at
the end of the 4.6 series list.  You can see all bluerpints against
milestones with that name under the project group such as:

You don't have to change the series when you pick up a blueprint.
When the focus changes to 4.7 in the future, I can re-parent the
milestone and all blueprints move with it.
