Why inexcusable? Why is leaving a bug open indefinately a bad thing? If someone wants it, they can comment on the bug. This isn't a software development project (for the most part :)) so leaving a bug open causes no harm, other than to make it a bit difficult in some instances to find what you are looking for among the large number of filings. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
