Over the previous few days * wrote: <snip> Sorry I'm a bit late to the party but thought I'd throw my comments after having spent the past few months trawling through every F7 kernel bug[1]. Specifically in relation to F6 bugs, I think that closing out bugs with the EOL message is A Very Good Thing for the following reasons: - Closing bugs for a legitimate reason often gives them a shot in the arm. Yes, there will be a few people who get upset at this but I _firmly_ believe this is fewer than many fear. - A huge number of responses after prodding sleeping bugs have been "Oh, yeah, I upgraded to F7 and this was fixed. Forgot to update bug, please close." - F6 is EOL - we do not support it and people know (or should know) this - Reporter can re-open with updated info if necessary In response to the wider question of bug triaging, I find it extremely rewarding work [2] (though there are some bad days [3]) and as Jesse suggested [4] I would be happy to assist in the triaging effort. Chris Aillon [5] even suggested paying someone to do it so I officially apply for the position, providing my previous triaging work as my CV. :) Which works well btw as I'm currently jobseeking [6]....
