I agree with Greg on this one. I've submitted bugs and enhancements which received positive responses (from Microsoft) only to be closed "Won't Fix" at the last minute. Even if they were migrated to VS-Next would have been a better option, but to have them closed with no explanation just discourages people from submitting anything.
