The decision was made in the context of rhl and rhel when fedora
wasn't even a glimmer in anyone's beer yet. So how about you look at
the decision to pull the flags and the decision to make the bug report
private in the correct context for the timeframe when those original
decisions were made...before this was a community project.
Well, if a new bug was closed as a dupe of an old (private) bug, it
pulls the old bug up to the present, implying it is relevant to Fedora
(but we can't see because it is a private bug).
It would be nice if public bugs were not closed as dupes of private bugs
(except for security bugs that should only be private for a short time).
If RH wants to do that for RHEL, that is their business, but I'd say it
is a bad idea for Fedora.
