Yeah, if they're really old and aren't reproducing, closing them may be the right thing to do. > Also, I'm assuming that the bug can always be re-opened if necessary. > Maybe that isn't the case. That's the case. But sending a form letter to the person who opened the bug report may be polite. Just something like "This bug doesn't reproduce in Emacs 25, so I'm closing the bug report. Please reopen if you're still seeing the bug." or something. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
