It doesn't follow that we should remove it.
A bug is a bug. Better to keep this bug open.
Someday, perhaps, Someone(TM) will be motivated
and find a way to fix it. And if not, so what?
What harm does it do to keep a report open for
a recognized bug? When it comes to free software
and its volunteers, no one's career is boosted by
just reducing a bug count as an end in itself.
Or am I missing something?
