I don't think it should be DEFERRED but rather CURRENTRELEASE. DEFERRED

case. They were given a chance to change the bug from FC2 to a newer
release and NEEDINFO status. If they haven't responded by now just
assume it is fixed, and tell them about changing the Version and
reopening if not.
Many of these *aren't* fixed in the current release, though. They're feature
requests that were rejected or ignored, non-reproducable one-time-glitches,
various misunderstandings of the way things work, and yep, actual bugs that
got dropped on the floor and aren't going to get addressed in reality.
I think DEFERRED is the best option (given the description in bugzilla)
given the mix of bugs -- many of them *are* actually gonna be real issues.
The other alternative that makes sense is WONTFIX.
WONTFIX is more truthful then. DEFERRED is a really bad and confusing
state IMHO. Could you post a draft of the accompanying closing message
here before doing so?
