Assuming you mean 'suffixes' not 'prefixes' - so your proposal is just
to use Accepted and Rejected - then again, I don't like that. "There
could be cases" where a bug has multiple states is putting it much too
weakly - there are such cases, a lot of such cases, it's something we do
all the time. We can't just handwave it away. I don't think the
'simplicity' of Accepted vs. AcceptedBlocker is worth that at all. In
fact, a whiteboard field which just says 'Accepted' is probably more
confusing than one which says 'AcceptedBlocker', if you don't know the
process.

I was suggesting not using 'alpha' or 'beta' in the whiteboard names. But perhaps I was confusing the blocker aliases with the whiteboard names and we aren't using alpha or beta in those now.
