Most such bugs are already marked wishlist; unless the request is truly
outlandish, letting them "linger on" is not a big deal, since they are
easy to exclude in searches.
Similarly, we have lots of bugs tagged unreproducible and/or wontfix.
We haven't been closing these, but if that bothers people, we could
institute a policy of closing such bugs if there is no traffic after,
say, a year. I don't care, personally.
As for the rest of the old bugs, many are "long tail" issues that are
difficult and/or time-consuming to debug and fix. Hopefully, we will be
able to make a dent in this over the course of the pretest.
