We could automatically clean End Of Life bugs

[Thomas Ward]

Ahh, yeah, you're right.  I tend to make it a habit of adding the task for that release and marking the bug otherwise for the latest release and leave the task for monitoring it for the affected release, which is why I observe things as such.

Otherwise, bugs don't get touched if they don't have the task, you're right.  (My fault on the miscommunication)
