Well this is a compromise. Taking a look at older bugs is definitely needed
but we wouldn't want to miss on important new issues that affect the next 
release. imVho, I think that the best approach is to focus mainly on new bugs
but dedicate some time to old bugs as well. After all, if an old bug is very
important, it won't be forgotten because sooner or later a duplicate will appear :-)
