Please do not mark bugs invalid without using the given shell commands
to see for yourself that it's still an issue on a supported release.

This happens over and over on Ubuntu bug reports: they languish for
years, then someone comes along and marks them invalid for the sake of
tidying up the bug tracker.  But said someone doesn't even put forth
minimal effort to check the bug's status; instead they whack everything
over a certain age with their "invalid stick."  This is insulting to the
reporter who spent his valuable time contributing a detailed bug report
to the project.

As a result, people like myself, who have reported hundreds of bugs,
decide to no longer do so, because it is ultimately a waste of their
time.  As a result, Ubuntu and its community suffer.

"First, do no harm."
