If you've verified that the bug isn't actually fixed in that version,
then it should be found. If it was erroneusly marked as fixed, and
there aren't any versions that the bug should be fixed in, use
found+notfound or reopen, or similar..
notfixed is primarily there because it enables you to play with the
list of fixed versions without additional side-effects such as
reopening the bug.

In any of these cases, you want notfixed+found or something similar.
Which bug are we talking about, though? [It's easier for me to
actually talk about specific examples and clarify the documentation if
it doesn't address a case than generalities.]

This is what it was changed to:
This command is equivalent to <code>found</code> followed by
<code>notfound</code> (the found removes the fixed at a particular
version, and notfound removes the found) with the exception that
the bug is not reopened if the found version is greater than any
existing fixed version. It is intended for fixing mistakes in the
record of when a bug was fixed; in most cases, you actually want
<code>found</code>, not <code>notfixed</code>.
