You can decide during the HF, whether I should run a script once for closing 
tickets. It's possible to limit the affected tickets e.g. by version or 
assignement.
I also recommend setting the target version of open 2.0 tickets to "Version X 
- Unplanned" unless you know, that someone will work on it.
