5 How about this one: preventing users from filing dupes.

10 What's the big deal? You know you'll be adding/bumping the package at
11 some point. Just close the bug when you do so. It's certainly less
12 work than marking it RESOLVED FIXED once and then DUPLICATE many times
13 after that.

15 The point of bugzilla is tracking bugs, not a tool to arbitrate a
16 pissing contest about who has the least bugs open. If you can't/don't
17 want to fix a bug that's OK, but it's not a good enough reason to
18 pretend it never existed.
