I'm asking this here for lack of a "meta" site for Ask Fedora. :)
I recently came across this:
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/50626/when-will-dnf-fully-be-ported-to-fedora/
I'm a bit perplexed by the close reason -- "the question is answered, right
answer was accepted". Whatever the reason, this shows up in the list of
questions with [closed] by the title (in addition to the green checkmark
indicating that an answer was accepted).
Why would we want to do this? Isn't the point to build up a body of
questions and answers?
I think closing should be reserved for _problematic_ questions -- off topic,
spam, argumentative, etc. But maybe I'm not getting something here. Does
closing questions for being successful have a benefit I'm missing?
I am not part of ask but having looked at stackexchange etc there are multiple reasons to close it.
1) People prefer to look for things which are listed as answered.
2) The answer given to the question is correct. dnf is usable now and will be mainstream in F22.
For me the main problem is layout wise because the closed statement is so large it looks more like a moderation statement of don't ask these sorts of questions and the answer has to be scrolled down to which some people might not do.
