 From my end: basically, docs doesn't use the fix-committed status.

This is because we don't have any intermediate release management step 
like the code projects - you solve a bug (fully - not partial as in this 
case), and it's done. Fix committed is a handy state for "there's 
something that someone needs to do to release this", but since we 
basically publish fixes immediately, it's not needed.


You could argue that a bug fixed in a guide-in-progress that is not yet 
published (eg networking?) should set status to Fix-committed until the 
entire guide is published ... but does anyone really want to go and 
change the status of a ton of bugs when that happens? :)


For this Partial-Bug case, as Anne says, I think setting back to 
Confirmed is the way to go.
