RE: Is cleaning up old issues worthwhile?

They can be closed outright, but marking them with obsolescence is still useful for future reference, and is negligible. ________________________________ From: ghc-devs on behalf of Matthew Pickering Sent: Saturday, May 4, 2019 10:56:49 PM To: Kevin Buhr Cc: GHC developers Subject: Re: Is cleaning up old issues worthwhile? I'm not sure the benefit of marking these tickets obsolete is. You may as well just close them. Someone can reopen them if they disagree. There could be some arguent for adding tests from these old tickets but tbh they are so old that if the bug still exists there is probably a newer ticket.

Okay, I've added a new "obsolete" label: "Old issues that no longer apply and are in a short waiting period before closing." I'll start going through the low-hanging fruit adding comments and sticking this label on them, with the idea of going back and closing them after, say, 4 weeks with no complaints. After I've gone through a few of these and gained some experience with it, I'll try to draft some guidelines for handling old tickets.

Anyway, please let me know if this process starts to get irritating.
