I think that is fine. It's not your responsibility to retest a bug you no longer care about. If someone else cares and retests, they ideally would be able to reopen it, but Bugzilla currently doesn't allow that ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=573535 ). If no one cares, the bug may not be worth fixing. -- Matt -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
