Thanks!

I agree that we should close them, I've seen many other projects close bugs
as "out of date" in similar situations, sometimes just because a bug is
older than 5 or 10 years with no activity. I don't know if that means we
should not re-add any A4 bugs in the (theoretical) case that someone
reports one. We are still the official Allegro 4 project as well, even if
it has almost no users and no developers left. So I's say yes, delete those
really old bugs with no chance of getting fixed, but not sure what to do in
case we get a new report or someone wants to re-open an issue. There has
been changes to A4 even in this year apparently:

Too bad the A4-to-A5 project never got very far, it kinda was a fun idea to
keep the A4 API alive through that :)
