Not my pet cosmetic issue. This is a decision taken by folks in
charge of the archive as to what belongs in the archive. No more than
the release teanm decides, mostly all by itself, as to what does or
does not belong in a release, adding or not adding overrides to bugs,
reducing violations of must directives to non-serious status all by
themselves (not going through the policy change process at all).
If one team can muck with policy related bug severities, and I
have to just suck it up, I gave another important team the same
benefit.
