I agree with Paolo,

during the next HF I will close, as usual, as many obsolete tickets as
it is possible. The vast majority of the tickets tagged as "bugs" are
real bugs (less important or more important is not the point).
Probably many tickets tagged as "features" (more or less 50% of the
tickets) can be closed, we will see.

Cheers
