Reports for too old versions could be avoided by not listing old versions at all, and telling a user that if he/she can't find his/her version in the list to upgrade.
I'd be in favour of dropping old versions, unfortunately I believe this involves thousands of existing bugs losing their current version field.
The best solution would be to keep the old versions but filter them out from the drop down that is presented to the users.
Then again, I hate bugzilla and the new bug page is a UX disaster. The minuscule scroll areas for component/version, the attachment size limit which gives no warning at that point (and simply disappears once the bug is filed)... While we're talking about changes to the new bug UI, I'd like to suggest dropping Component from there altogether and put it in advanced fields (if editable by users at all - you need a pretty deep understanding of wine/windows APIs to pick one).
The Component field is useful though I would prefer if we could drop the "directx-" prefix from the components that have it. The "Comp" field in the bug listings is too short and shows only "directx-".
