I think I'm +1 on this, but then I've never really made use of the
milestones feature in Launchpad.  The important things for me are:

 - to be able to see all the bugs in one place.
 - to be able to filter on project.
 - to be able to sort by priority.

This gives me an overview of where we are on the whole, lets me see
any bugs in the other components that I need to be aware of, but also
lets me focus strictly on the ones I need to fix.  It seems like a
good balance.
