Instead of OBSOLETE, do like mozilla.org -> EXPIRED or INCOMPLETE, neither of which judge what has been done, and leave for consideration possible propriety to reopen with updated information.
Don't forget too that one justification for INVALID can be obsolescence.
Looking briefly through bugzilla.mozilla.org re the Bugzilla software product, the word obsolete seems to have a special meaning reserved for use with attachments.
If it were up to me, "OBSOLETE" would not be added.
It actually sounds to me as if you are in favor of the idea conceptually, but the specifics of the name are open. The idea being that we want to identify bugs that are possibly no longer relevant in current releases.
Would that be a fair statement?
I'm not entirely convinced INVALID isn't adequate for purging bugs against unsupported releases.
INVALID is a smack in the face for the reporter. OBSOLETE is not much better - imho, we have to be careful about the wording even if the outcome is the same.
