I checked all the wontfix tickets and reopened two, but I agreed with the others. Never closing tickets if they are valid (even though it's clear they will not be resolved anymore) is not a useful policy either IMHO. For example, the bug report of a build issue of numpy 1.0.1 on IRIX could still be valid, but no more info or help on this ticket for 3 years. So close as wontfix. If a new IRIX user comes along and this is still an issue, it can be reopened or a new ticket can be opened.
