Andrew, I think your strategy is good, but can we turn that clock back to t= wo years? Emacs doesn't move all that rapidly. If you can't reproduce something From=202013 or earlier, close it as cannot reproduce with a CC to the origi= nal reporter. Otherwise, ping the submitter with a CC to the bug address saying= it can't be reproduced, but leave it open. =2D-=20 John Wiegley GPG fingerprint =3D 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com 60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2 --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGcBAEBCgAGBQJWgeASAAoJEMFE2PTxn+Ywz/YL/1wQP5F4q/K/xTv8iz5Tr6UI kZu+TgS2PTiMABRhFzvQBmbjPZCVGWMmi+ATJkqjCGxuK9/MaE9MmXBi76VsJ5fT SyUWz8Dhb9IYAQRPvcoWFztYzbQqAJwcLWxzjO1eb2V0Pqjvxr/84oBtikr2eJQ/ rr7kQLj3yZGZf3exH5zvfgGnPX89Y8aASjNrVQnvppxcsRCAVDYeCzusM2jpituq XSriWywBSeE0FR+IKIjVVS4rOc8k0ZFoDtTRNDI814Sa7kKydQT6OWRjotgsHUpv NPFy3TKrWPvRFvzFnG7JGqmA6x32Aujo929+QdJvYzrYPTZl9HYm0BMgKSP/D1Xn UQWVbN2XK0py+W3Pr9oSxdqHGgKKLP1mpVaGxffdYNWsopuqXW8Ira+bZdlvyD5m A5scMmQ9UOBDvdaxdK1MAp7olG5J4kENyDj9wfqkHQwHGHSE8/6dPepDd3zpS+q9 PxbkD6nBNy46FWKqx7ReY7f9Sxs96dXsDhtJtPk1hw== =PpBi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
