It seems like if bugs against rel 1 are still open just before EOL,
and closed thereafter, AND, these bugs are no longer in rel 2,
does release 2 have any document stating that the bugs was fixed?
How can a user trace that fix and then try to back-port it?

I suspect that the bug is never fixed even in rel 2, nor do the lease
notes make any mention of the fix re: the automatically ignored bugs
from the previous rel.
