I’m completely with you on wanting to leave it open, but I think it does need some sort of resolution, if for no other reason than clarity. I wish there was a status like OBSOLETE or NLR (No Longer Relevant) to indicate that it was closed not because a “fix” was found and rejected, or the original request was misguided, but because the original impetus was nullified by subsequent events.
