8 Not that i care that much, but imho INVALID is more accurate in some
9 cases.

11 For instance, if one reports about app/foo being broken but happens to
12 have ricer CFLAGS in his "emerge info", his report will be closed as
13 INVALID... which is exactly what it is: an invalid report, because not
14 made in sane conditions. This resolution usualy comes with a note
15 which tell to reopen if the bug still happen after app/foo has been
16 recompiled with sane CFLAGS. The possibity that there is a real bug in
17 app/foo is left open. At the contrary, NOTABUG sounds to me like a
18 definitive answer.
