Do you mean that you just delete the bug report? I can understand that if you're a developer looking for a new bug to fix - you simply go the bugzilla DB and browse. However, I was thinking more from a user perspective; the report could be useful as a digest of recent bugs and their resolution if it were formatted in a more readable way (recent at top) and if the Status column were updated.. A more scary thought is that conceivably some journo, using this report as his sole input text, might write an article whose first para goes something like, "As revealed in secret internal documents, the popular Apache webserver has over seven hundred bugs - some, such as one affecting the security-critical suexec mechanism, date from April 2002!"
