Actually, the idea is that the bug is closed -- but marking INVALID
carries a bad connotation. So we want to state that we will not work on
this anymore, but please keep on discussing it.

New proposal:

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu
better. This bug is being marked OPINION; this indicates we will not
work on it, but all are free to express their opinions. It is possible
that, in the future, we may revisit this bug.

@Bruno: If everybody is in agreement, would you mind adding this to the
Responses?

Cheers,
