Yes, that sounds good to me. Perhaps it would be good to amend the 
descriptions that meta-bugs are not just for fixed bugs.

Over time we will see what will be important bug 2233. Theoretically, users 
want to have fixed "all" reported bugs in "some next version". So, they could 
be tempted to put into 2233 completely all reported bugs. But it would do 
dubious sense to bug 2233. Practice will show it.
