Well, the bug reports are still there, even if they're closed. :-) It's just part of the ranking, in a way, and says something about how hard we think (as maintainers) that we (as maintainers) should be looking at the bug reports. >From "critical" ("LOOK AT THIS!!!") via "wishlist" ("if you have the time...") to "closed" ("I think it's rather likely that this isn't interesting"). By putting bug reports in the last category more aggressively, one hopes to stimulate people to focus on the rest of the reports... I don't know how well this works for projects that auto-close bug reports. Anybody have experience with that? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
