There is no difference between 'open' and 'suspended' at all. Putting a PR in suspended state is essentially the same as deleting it. Also, a few PR's were closed with "it ain't gonna get fixed", which is just plain stupid. Just because it isn't going to fixed before 3.0 doesn't mean it's isn't going to get fixed ever. The point of having a PR database is to have a record of those outstanding bugs that will get fixed. IMHO, going through the PR DB 'just to suspend/close a bunch of PR's makes us look unprofessional. The only thing I can think is that the purpose of changing the state is to make us look more professional, and this does just the opposite (especially to the people who submitted the PRs).
