See http://blogs.gnome.org/view/newren/2005/09/30/0 for more details where I'm coming from, but I'm basically going to disagree with Vincent here -- I think it should be perfectly fine to mark all those bugs as obsolete and tell the reporter they are free to reopen if they experience the same issue under 0.10. I think which versions are considered obsolete ought to be up to the maintainers (though we'd appreciate a note in the product specific guidelines, linked to from the browse page in bugzilla, so that triagers can help). There is a tradeoff that needs to be made and we don't want to be too agressive just closing out 'old' bugs, but I think we tend to err far on the side off keeping too many bugs open that just aren't helpful. Just my $0.02. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
