with all due respect to scott, it wasn't just the "--> Invalid" that caused this tempest. it was the somewhat dismissive sounding 'Sorry, the only response here is "Don't Do That Then"', which helped reinforce the impression that this was a "won't fix" situation.
but that aside, this thread was at least the second of the day in which the marking of the "(ubuntu)" version of a bug invalid caused confusion. it threw me off in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/94065/comments/6 , even _with_ scott's explanation of what was going on. if it were possible to substitute something less "terminal" sounding than "Invalid" as the disposition in cases like this ("Reclassified"? "Moved"? "Wrong 'affecting'"?), it might help avoid future confusion.
