RFC: Bug database cleaning

Hi,

Most regulars probably know that I don't respond to bugs
quite as 
quickly as I should: I just seldom use the bug database --
largely 
because as I respond to bugs, I seldom hear back from
users.

As a result, the bug database is quite a bit larger than it
should be. 
So, I would like to close all bugs older than approximately
one year. 
That would affect any bug # less than 306.

Any one have any objections to this?

Keith

Provided those bugs on the tracker have been deemed invalid
/ closed /
resolved / patched / duplicate / whatever, then yes, of
course.
Otherwise, you are losing a great deal of valuable
information and the
fact that they just old doesn't really seem like reason
enough to delete
them.
