I must admit  the platform setting is distracting, the "Compatible  
Applications" (BTW, badly named, should be "Sugar Release") which  
seems the more important setting is so hidden away vs. 'platform' that  
I often don't set it correctly (0.82 - 0.84). Having both, just  
introduces way to many permutations for any one to be able to  
reasonably test – you'd need 8 separate systems running various spins  
of Sugar and release distros. Hence I think most set "All" and wait  
for the bug reports...

Thanks for bringing this up.
