I'd disagree with the "quite soon". I believe that many people will be forced to stay with 0.20.5 for at least another 6 months or at least the time it takes to stabilize FOP Trunk and add the missing features that work in 0.20.5. But yes, we should think about cleaning out the bug-list. > (Not that it matters that much.

There are a lot of bug reports against 0.20.5/maintenance branch that have never been fixed but are valid issues and must not be lost. I don't think we have to throw out all those old issues by force within the next few weeks. I'm sure there is a good number of issues that can be closed and it's good if they are. But be careful with the ones that help us improve FOP.
