This is a plain self-fulfilling prophecy.  If you will manage to kill
report gathering means then indeed you will have no reports; from novice
users in particular.

While bugzilla is far from perfect and it can be frustrating at times
a "solution" you are pushing does not even start to pass a laugh test.
Really...

Let's run a simple query against bugzilla for bugs in the status NEW
( as in not looked at ) and find out the oldest report from our
reporters for the soon to be EOL released F18 which should have the
longest time maintainers could have responded bugs filed by
reporters.

The oldest bug was filed by Stef Walter <mailto:stefw@xxxxxxxxxx>on
2012-08-15 against binutils with total of 7205 bugs found. ( You can
multiple that number by half an hour at least of reporters time )

Now let's look at the gory details of EOL bugs closed wontfix running [2]

8031 bugs found.
<snip>

Out of how many total bugs? Simply reported 8k bugs without a comparison
tells us nothing.

Considering that Fedora is roughly 120 months old, that's about 66 bugs
per month closed. That out of how many packages? That's, roughly, less
than 1 bug per package ever that's been closed as wontfix. (meaningless,
but think about it)

That query was run against F17 which had our usually 13month run so I'm not sure where you got your 120 months from...
