I dont want to uphold something that isn't going to get fixed, and yes that would mean stepping on some people's toes from time to time, in that case we can actively do something about the specific tickets while the others well just fade out. Thanks for the feedback though, the ticket had been reopened and apologies had been made in the ticket.
