I disagree. Resolved LATER is useful to some maintainers that want to |
| 11 |
fix that bug, but don't have time or don't find the issue to be a |
| 12 |
priority at the moment. By marking it LATER they're acknowledging the |
| 13 |
bug exists and needs to be taken care of. |

You've chosen a terrible example as in that case the resolution is |
| 19 |
accurate. The forums team didn't find that issue to be a priority and |
| 20 |
doesn't have the time to deal with it. As the bug was open for years |
| 21 |
without any progress, we chose to close it as LATER. If someone else |
| 22 |
wants to step up and take care of it, great. |

When you mark something as LATER because you don't have the time nor |
| 28 |
find it a priority, you're not "hidding a problem". If someone uses that |
| 29 |
resolution to hide problems, that person should be warned of the above. |
