Subject: can we kill the "closed: question is answered" feature on ask fedora?
I might have complained about this before, but now I'm serious. :) It's
incredibly counterintuitive and weird to have questions closed because
they're answered, I guess unless they're an individual issue that only
affects one person. Anything that might be helpful later and which has
a helpful answer should be the _opposite_ of closed!

I forgot about this! Closing the question removes it from visibility/searchability, right? If so, killing this feature makes sense to me.

Closing the question adds a blockquote that says "This question was
closed by 'person' because 'the question has been answered and the
answer was accepted'". Users can continue to comment, suggest answers,
edit, post comments as answers, contribute inaccurate answers, whatever,
as long as they aren't deterred by the closed banner. Basically, I
agree about it being a silly reason to close a question, except that it
might do things that it isn't actually doing. So, +1 from me, let's turn
it off.
Amusingly, the only way to access the list of close reasons is to have
moderation turned on, and start choosing reasons to reject a post :)
I'll remove this soon, unless someone gets to it or strenuously objects
soon.

I was mistaken here. 'reject' reasons in the moderation view are
configurable; close reasons are hard-coded. I'll work up and test a
patch to rip it out, unless someone else gets to it first.
