It's bad to delete obsolete bodhi tickets. Feedback from testers
is lost. Anything that has been published in a repo should still be
findable in bodhi.

The new test update may suffer from the same problems as the
obsolete one, but maybe nobody reports that prior to the new update
getting marked stable. A [different] tester might want to review
feedback left in the obsolete ticket and try to reproduce with the
new update.

Obsolete bodhi tickets could be locked, so that it is no longer possible
to comment on them. The last comment would be bodhi's, mentioning the
newer update request.

Short-sighted view. Bodhi is not only for the maintainer(s). You want
more testers? Then make bodhi more convenient for them.
