IMHO tickets should not be closed until resolved with a clear
rationale -- a resolution can be "will not fix" or "not germane" of
course.

What problem(s) are we trying to solve beyond the vague "[some] people
dont like old issues"?

I, for one, do not mind old issues as long as they are still relevant
-- it saves me from searching both open and closed issues and
differentiating between closed (resolved) and closed (dormant).
