For most cases, yes, we would just need 2 versions (and notes on each
OS used for repro), but... there are special cases :-)

1. Platform-specific bugs

If a bug is platform-specific, then the table can help to show that.
It could also show the case (which many agree would be very rare) of a
bug that might affect just Mac/Linux and not Windows.

2. Fixed and then reappearing

Joel made a note that some bugs might be fixed and then reappear in a
later build. He was specifically talking about issues when
bibisecting, but it could just as easily appear in testing with other
builds.
