Sure, for new bugs. I don't believe it applies to still open old bugs, especially those filed and with no new activity for a year before the new workflow came to be. If they've not been touched in the then-current workflow in a year (and I'd argue something shorter, say 90 days, which just emphasizes how old those bugs really are), where's the justification to bother migrating them to the new workflow? They should have been acted upon well before the new workflow came to be, and if people are bothering to migrate, I'd not blame that at all for migrating them to RESOLVED/WONTFIX (aka dekeywording as the older keyworded versions are removed), as to all indications that's the reality. So maybe it's better for PPC they're /not/ migrated? -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
