Agreed. But I think the alternative is worse (i.e. we ignore new issues until we have dealt with the backlog which may take some considerable time). Actually though I suspect the number of resubmitted defects will be relatively small compared to the total number of defects in the system. We can attempt to encourage people to only resubmit "significant" defects - and where they do so identify the older defects so that they can be closed off.
