This seems mildly insane; sure you didn't mean UNCONFIRMED?

Similarly weird.

VERIFIED != CLOSED; CLOSED means "this issue should be fixed", 
VERIFIED means "this issue is confirmed fixed by whatever qa/testing 
in use"- specifically beyond the developer's testing.

The new is more orientated towards bugzilla workflow's that have 
actual secondary validation of a change- developer fixes it, closes 
it, QA marks it verified, that sort of thing.

That doesn't really fit our flow all that much, as such we really 
shouldn't be taking their defaults without tweaking it a bit.
