Ah, sorry: the ones I clicked from your post did not have such comments,
so I thought you were just complaining about cleanups in general.

What's needed to be sure the bug doesn't get closed is for the Version
field to be bumped to a release that's not going EOL. A comment may do
the job, but there's usually hundreds of bugs in the list to be EOLed
and it's usually a single person compiling the EOL list; they don't have
time to inspect _every_ ticket manually (the weeding is more along the
lines of 'look through the summary list for bugs that look like they may
be special cases').
