If people want to fix bugs in lisp/obselete, they are free to do so because
(a) the bug is open and (b) the code still exists in the distribution. Once
the code is gone, we can close the bug as no longer pertaining to Emacs.

Until that time, don't feel an obligation to fix bugs in obsolete code that
you aren't interested in fixing. There are higher priorities to address.

What this discussion objected to (as I read it) was establishing a policy of
ignoring bugs in obsolete code.
