Sean Owen commented on MAHOUT-155:
----------------------------------

"Later" is probably a better label, yes. I don't think anyone objects to 
implementing this. 

I do think it's worth reflecting reality in JIRA -- if nobody has touched it in 
17 months, it's not only not planned for 0.5 but not something that, 
apparently, anyone plans to implement at all.

This makes JIRA a more reliable reference for newcomers about what is 
realistically on anybody's radar to work on. (All issues can always be 
searched, should anyone wonder if anyone thought about ARFF.)  I also think 
closing issues after a large degree of inactivity calls attention to the 
problem of issue rot (not really this one -- it's just an improvement with no 
patch) and whether we shouldn't pay more attention to bugs and issues with 
patches ready. It risks discouraging contributors and future committers; this 
sort of exercise is the "messenger" of this situation.
