Not really. WONTFIX means "this is a feature update or non-critical bug that 
is not included in our support promise".

Would you read the bug report already? One developer said he didn't think it 
was a valid use case, but other developers chimed in immediately and said it 
was, and developed a fix for it. The bug is *not* marked as WONTFIX, it has in 
fact already been fixed. It is marked as "ASSIGNED" and is not being ignored
