If we'd like to deal with those reports, "Won't be fixed" seems more suitable (similiarly to "PHP 4 support discontinued" on https://bugs.php.net/quick-fix-desc.php). Marking those bugs as suspended looks like a good idea to me. They are not cluttering open bugs anymore and they can be easily excluded from "random bug" functionallity. > Then there is #58612[2] which is about an extension that had its only > release in 2003, and its latest commits 5 years ago (apparently, some > standard commits for several PECL packages).
