Moral rights aside (and that's a pretty bold argument), clutter in our bug
tracker makes it harder to read and find useful information, and as such is a
good way to encourage developers not to fix bugs.

Complaining is also a good way to do that.

Unconfirmed/confirmed distinction is basically meaningless as far as I'm
concerned, but, since you seem to care, confirming.

Anyway, it turns out this bug has been open for almost two years because it's
actually really hard to figure out the correct solution. That doesn't mean that
people haven't been trying; I can personally attest to that.
