I noticed Vladimir closed a D1 bug as WORKSFORME, with an

phobos, not realizing it was a D1 bug.

However, it brought up a discussion of what to do with D1 bugs.
Should they be closed? If so, what should be the reason for
closing? My impression is if the bug still exists (and I'm not
advocating we test for it), we should close it as WONTFIX,
since D1 is deprecated.
Thoughts? I closed the aforementioned bug as WONTFIX. Anyone is
free to correct that if you feel it's in error :)

I agree with you in this case.
D1 is in heavy commercial use at Sociomantic, and we are still
submitting patches to DMD, and we frequently search bugzilla for
open D1 bugs. But AFAIK *nobody* is using D1 Phobos.
The only remaining role of D1 Phobos, AFAIK, is to allow the D1
test suite to run.
I think that we should close all D1 Phobos bugs as WONTFIX.
Realistically they are never going to be fixed, and I don't think
anybody cares.
(Or, if the bug also applied to D2, but is already fixed in D2, I
think it would be perfectly valid to mark it as FIXED).
