INVALID doesn't necessarily mean it was wrong for the user to file the |
| 11 |
bug. Heck, I've closed the occasional bug as INVALID (and sometimes have |
| 12 |
even had the reporter do it) after massive debugging sessions and |
| 13 |
discussions that go on for dozens of pages. |

But... If INVALID is renamed, could we get a new GOAWAY resolution for |
| 16 |
people who really deserve it? |
