I echo Joe's sentiment that having both resolved and unresolved issues be "closed" makes it harder to find those resolved issues. Doing bug triage is aided immensely if you can query which bugs were fixed in a specific build of a specific release.


This page is generated from the Mercurial repositories:
   http://download.java.net/jdk7u4/changes/jdk7u4-b03.html
The script, or a variation of it for openjdk6, is at http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/file/tip/make/scripts/jdkreport.pl

So I do think it is possible to query the repositories for what bugs were fixed.
