Re: Closing out old tickets in the tracker

Hello

Please don't look at the tickets as mere numbers. A lot of them concern
bugs that are still present, however they are of lower priority. Closing
them will mean that some other user will reopen them at some point.

What we could do is close the bugs which are also present in the original
interpreters, and keep links to them as known issues via the corresponding
game/engine page in the wiki. We have done as such with a lot of bugs in
the past. This could reduce the overall number of bugs, without losing any
bugs which are only present in ScummVM.

Regards
