I understood your response so that you do not like that because you do not see why anybody would report a new bug then.
I do not see any connection between opening a bug to a supported release and closing bugs to unsupported ones. So I thought you were concerned about opening bugs for discontinued releases. Sorry for that misunderstanding. Yes, I think you are getting the idea now :-)
My meaning is that, if I open some bugs which I take time to investigate and after some years they are closed without anything done with them, next time I will not bother to report bugs, because reporting is useless.
It only applies to one of Axel proposals, not the other one. I think what you arguing about is more relevant re another option which Petr put forward, namely: "Wontfix/Feature: issue is a feature request/or something that should not be fixed by us".
If it isn't going to be "fixed by us" then who should "fix" the problem reported by a user?
If it is a "feature" requested by a user then to whom should the user have reported the feature in order for it to be considered for implementation?
In both case this is where your comment about "why bother to report anything if it is going to dismissed out-of-hand" comes in.

Hopefully there isn't too many such reports, generally good maintainers will have sent the people to the correct place for feature requests or if they were felling extra nice opened feature requests on there behalf in the right place.
New features don't belong in our bugtracker in almost all cases anyway.
And here is where I have to display my ignorance and ask: Why? Why don't "new features" belong here? Do we -- as in openSUSE, TW, and SLE -- only follow what other distros accept or come up with and we just "follow the pack"? I suspect that I am misinterpreting what is meant by "new feauters don't belong in our bugtracker" so I would be most please if this could be explained to me -- in a private msg if required so as not to clutter up this thread.
