14 I don't think anyone would really object to that, other than maybe some
15 bug spam.

20 Yes, those are great. Would be nice if there was a YOUFIX :)

29 Well since they are stuff that's in tree, in theory they should remain

31 might just cause someone else to file a new bug instead of finding the
32 pre-existing closed one.
