Open Stack

Sharing my 2 cents:

Well, you can always record what the script does and archive the list
of closed stories with their titles, descriptions and comments so that
anyone in the future could come back to them.
If it's not a huge burden on the repo, you can even commit it
somewhere to keep forever.
FWIW, this different format might even help correlate them quickly to
similar ideas of others. ;-)

By keeping the status quo, we are implying to our users we are thinking about those bugs -- when we aren't. I'd rather have a fresh start than persist the status quo.
