I disagree with most of this. Why are you wanting to close such issues? Why don't we use Jira to classify them, and then use Jira filters to see what needs to be attended to? At Forrest for example, we try to regularly go through the open issues and schedule them to be attended to (Fix Version) for either the current release or the next release. Anything else is left in an unscheduled state. Then a Jira Filter shows us the roadmap. > BTW I discussed this with Vadim at the Hackathon. > > * it has been sitting in JIRA for a very long time So what?

Closing issues prematurely is disrespectful. -David
