Heh, I opened that bug 2 years ago. And it's a duplicate of several bugs 
at this point and has a fix available, so I've marked it a duplicate of 
the bug that has the fix.

The main point of removing this old stuff is so we can actually see new 
things when doing triage, since we at least have some consistent triage 
for new bugs going on now.

Anyway, it's a drop in the bucket. A bug that's two years old with no 
one working on it to me means, meh, it's either not important or if 
someone cares and doesn't find it, they'll report a new bug (which 
should get triaged) and provide a fix if they care enough.
