This seems like a prime example what Opinion should _not_ be. If a bug
cannot be fixed, then no amount of "but this sucks!" exclamations will
change this. So that bug should really be "Invalid".

A better approach to this would IMHO be to make it much harder to
reopen bugs which are in a terminal state (fix released, wontfix,
invalid).
