[thinks some more] .... actually this might come in handy. If some idiot
tries to reopen one of my bugs, I can always slap them down and tell
them this is Mozilla policy.
I'd instead say that the people doing the work are generally in the best
position to decide how to track that work, and that it's been
longstanding policy that reopening bugs is almost never the right thing
to do [The main exceptions being after a backout, or the rare case of a
patch completely failing to fix an issue.]
This bug is a good example of that -- it's not helpful to treat Bugzilla
as a battleground or tug-of-war using reopening to express complaints.
If there's an issue with something that landed, one should either (as
appropriate) comment in the bug, file a new bug, or start a thread on
the relevant mailing list (firefox-dev in this case).
I'll also note that it's not constructive to start things off on a
confrontational foot, with labeling like "ridiculous" and "slapping down
idiots". Please keep things civil.
