The main purpose of this tag would be to exclude such tickets from searches of
open-or-fixed issues, correct? I don't see a good reason to differentiate
between Abandoned and Invalid other than possibly to avoid an emotional
reaction. If that is a problem, we could possibly work around it by choosing a
more neutral synonym (Void?) that works for both.
