Example: I've used Fedora which used that system, and I don't know how many times I've searched for a bug that I have encountered in it to see that it has been reported, closed because of new Fedora version, reported again in that version, closed when there is a new Fedora version, reported again, etc. Then I don't bother to report it again in the current version, because it is probably pointless. Of course those bugs wouldn't automatically have been fixed if the reports weren't closed all the time, but then there would at least be somewhere I could make a comment about the bug still being present in the latest version, without feeling like I'm just writing for the garbage bin.
