Open with a triage state of Someday/Maybe would imply that the current
behavior has been acknowledged as wrong and that a change in the behavior
might be expected. It would also imply that if someone provided a patch to
change the behavior, it would have a chance of getting checked in. With two
core devs stating they see the current behavior as logical and consistent
and none stepping up to say the opposite, a change in behavior here isn't
going to happen. Thus an open state for this ticket would give people the
wrong impression of the state of the issue.

Closed tickets are as easily found as open ones -- anyone doing research in
an attempt to understand current behavior should not be limiting their
searches to only open tickets.

The right state for this ticket is closed, which means it's been reviewed
and determined that the current behavior is correct and nothing needs to be
done to fix it. I would not term further comemnts "unwelcome", but they are
not particularly useful unless someone has some new light to shed on the
issue.
