Or allow status to be moved directly to CLOSED without passing through RESOLVED first. I've seen bugzilla scenarios in which tickets have been RESOLVED awaiting the owner to CLOSE them, and others where the relevant person has CLOSED it because that's what makes sense. I agree with the observation, but I think RESOLVED and CLOSED are sometimes useful distinctions, so mightn't it be best to let the ticket-editor choose?
