I disagree with this as many of bugs raised before 5.6 are still valid bugs
. The reason is that the code for many extensions hasn't changed for long
time. Of course there was a port to 7.0 which fixed few and also introduce
others but most of the old bugs are still valid. It would just hide
existing issues IMHO.

I think that an ideal way would be to treat each bug individually and at
least try if the issue is still present before closing or ask for feedback
if it's not clear how to try it.

Cheers

Jakub
