I would pref the user centric view - choices are going to be made about implementations with openstack that are likely to be driven by when a given bug will be resolved in a public release. Having some concrete measure for external people to see which release will resolve it is important.

Likewise, we do lots of work in branches, and as a newcomer to the projet figuring out where a fix has actually landed is a bit tricky - i keep up with trunk, but there is a lot of side work happening, and i dont expect to see the bug resolved as a dedveloper until its in trunk - so i would prefer that interpretation of "fix committed" - that it is committed into trunk.

I'm with the others on confirmed means able to reproduce...
