In the past, what happens to the still-open bugs against an EOL'd
release has been decided by the individual package owner.
I've seen..

* Move all bugs to currently open release
* Move all bugs to rawhide
* Close bugs WONTFIX
* "please upgrade" msg, NEEDINFO, wait a while, ->WONTFIX
* Nothing, bugs left open, users left unaware that no fix is coming.

all used as potential strategies for dealing with this, but it
would be good to have a unified message.  It would also probably
be much faster for bugzilla admins to run some SQL query than
each developer doing this by hand (last time I did it for the
kernel, it took several hours for the 'change multiple bugs'
thing to finish, with firefox actually timing out a few times).
