How in the world can you consider this "fixed"?
The behavior reported as a bug is still there.
No fix was made.

Stefan claims it's a feature.
RMS said to poll the users before doing it.
That was several releases ago (and no poll).

You can claim the behavior is not a bug.  Or you can admit that it is a bug but
state that it won't be fixed.

But how could you possibly claim that, (a) yes, it is a bug and (b) it has been
fixed?  Makes no sense.
