I believe there are many people that look for bugs, won't find them, but won't report them either. Even if people do not report a bug it benefits from from being able to see the bug in the BTS. In this way the BTS acts as a knowledge database. Therefore I would like to see bugs in stable kept open until the next stable fixes them. I realize there are technical issues to be resolved in the BTS in this area. Bob
