Won't fix. I will stop fixing core bugs if I need to wade through 4.3beta issues marked as CVS.
Wont fix, indeed. When I wade trough the (very) old bugs, approx 80% of them are actually duplicate, fixed or won't fix.
Is it possible to mail out the status changes of each issue to subscribed people? That way all people who feel like it, can re-open them. If someone takes the hassle of re-opening, it must be a real bug!
This is standard policy in the Mozilla project to simply "wontfix" any bugs that are older than a certain amount and haven't had a new comment in a certain number of months - occasionally controversial, but standard and eventually the people who dislike it end up liking it. They have a similar problem with the "is this CVS from 2002 or CVS from 2006" situation, but I they use "trunk" or specify which branch it is on. Then, when they make a new branch bugs (try to) get reviewed and split between that new branch and trunk. Greg
