The problem is really the RESOLVED connotation and the hiding that goes |
| 13 |
along with that on searches, etc. |

The LATER status itself can be useful when used properly (more as |
| 16 |
"ASSIGNED LATER"). In the lack of that some bigger teams might need to |
| 17 |
think of other methods to get things meant for LATER out of main views |
| 18 |
of huge bug lists. |

In my case, I want to have a "gnome" saved search that shows all OPEN |
| 21 |
(non-LATER) bugs directly assigned to gnome, and another saved search |
| 22 |
that shows those where gnome@ is merely in CC, or anything marked as |
| 23 |
LATER. Though that might not be achievable, so three saved searches |
| 24 |
really. |
| 25 |
More useful might be a date field upon which it will simply |
| 26 |
automatically re-open. Maybe something one is unable to set more than 30 |
| 27 |
or so days into the future. |
