34 Sure, for new bugs.
35
36 I don't believe it applies to still open old bugs, especially those filed
37 and with no new activity for a year before the new workflow came to be.
38 If they've not been touched in the then-current workflow in a year (and
39 I'd argue something shorter, say 90 days, which just emphasizes how old
40 those bugs really are), where's the justification to bother migrating
41 them to the new workflow? They should have been acted upon well before
42 the new workflow came to be, and if people are bothering to migrate, I'd
43 not blame that at all for migrating them to RESOLVED/WONTFIX (aka
44 dekeywording as the older keyworded versions are removed), as to all
45 indications that's the reality.
46
47 So maybe it's better for PPC they're /not/ migrated?
