But for F16 - it's true - the fix is not going to be available in F16, thus WONTFIX. Correct resolution is to bump version to F17/F18 or clone bugs. I removed the "clone" part as most people were screaming [1] - but for this case it's probably the best resolution - close F16 as WONTFIX, and properly close F17 and F18 bugs (just the overhead...). And as Kevin pointed out - you can still fix it - with proper version used. Btw. I'm not saying I'm not open to make the process better, I'm aware of the conflicts that could happen due to how bugs are closed - the CSV from BZ is generated first, then it runs for nearly a day. There could be bugs that do not receive EOL notification as these are filled after the EOL notification run. But with the ratio of faults and numbers of bugs closed...
