I can explain the reasoning behind /this/ particular date. If you sort 
the list of open bugs by last modification time you will find about 
380-something bugs with identical modification dates. Clearly something 
was done to the database at that time - perhaps an upgrade - and those 
bugs haven't been touched since.

I have a difficult time seeing a lump of bugs that haven't been touched 
in five and a half years as vital to keep open. If someone knows of 
specific bugs in that time-frame which are still relevant please point 
us at them, but the undifferentiated mass just increases the bug counter 
to no benefit.
