I didn't say it was a good solution.  I understand frustration with
email churn during EOL release time, but I'm not really sure it's a
problem.  From what I've observed, the EOL email reminders serve their
purpose.  Hey, you're bug is about to be closed ... if this is
important/critical, now is the time to act.  The alternative is silently
closing EOL'd bugs.  I don't think silently closing bugs works well with
the principle of least surprise.

Thanks,
James
