Ok, I see.

I guess what bothers me is the lack of comments on the bug report then,
from the external it appears as if someone just unilaterally decided the
bug won't be fixed without offering any explanation.

I still think that increasing the release flag and add a comment is a
better thing to do.

Right, I'll either create a new report or push directly then, I'll try
my best to not mess up the workflow :)
