My feeling is that once Legacy stops support for RHL (seems we decided later this year) that all the bugs could be closed WONTFIX. If it doesn't come from a paying RH customer through RHEL support, it most likely won't get looked at for a RHEL update, and Fedora has moved so far beyond that it doesn't really matter.
I think that is sort of letting whoever didn't 'look' at it inside of RH lightly. Some of those 'bugs' were feature requests and such that were looked as being useful at one point for a future release.. A WONTFIX could be the wrong answer in those cases. I think the NEED_INFO -> WONTFIX / Relabel to more accurate info would be better.
