I'm the one who objected the bug being closed. I'm not the one who reopened
the bug. This is more like a policy thing...
The rationale is this: the bug was filed against the version in hamm. The
fixed version is on slink. If the bug is closed is like saying the bug has
been fixed, but that's not true, because the bug is still present on the
hamm version.
Choices:
* Ignore this and close the bug. If someone files it again, respond with "I
know, but the version in slink is fixed. Download it". Not nice.
* Upload a fixed version to hamm. Impossible to do now.
* Wait for hamm to be released, and then upload the bug fix (how is that
going to be handled? Certainly not like we did with bo... and I hope we
don't come up with "erratas")
* Leave the bug open and wait for slink to become stable. Then you could
rightfully say the bug is fixed, because the fixed version has been
incorporated to stable. I have bugs waiting for hamm to became stable
because I think this is the best approach if other options are not an
option ;-)
