Since the bugs are real and the code has not been removed, is there a different state for these bugs? I still see the possibility that there are people using this plug-in, perhaps who are not part of this -devel list, who may wish to pick up support when they realize that it is going away. Let me explain a little. The -devel group is quite small, though there may be a number of other observers. OpenHPI gets picked up by several large distros (Red Hat, SuSE, Debian and it's derivatives) and then gets into user hands from there. This is a very slow process...years, in fact. For example, RHEL6 just released with openhpi 2.14.1, so that version will be in the field for quite some time. When the ipmi plugin disappears from these distros, users may be motivated to become involved in order to support what they use. It would be unfortunate to just throw away the information when it's really not causing us any problem. So can we move these reports to a different state or category, so that we don't have to worry about them for now? I'd propose closing them if/when we decide to remove the ipmi plugin code from the main trunk.
