Hi,

I think this is surely better than "let's acknowledge the mess, close
all existing bugs and restart from zero".  But still I think it is a
dangerous action which might cause anger, flames and rants.

What about organizing a plasma bug days(or weeks) as usual (when was
the last one?), then announce and apply that "no new bugs any more" as
a temporary policy only for and during that organized event ? My point
is "not accepting new bugs" is so easy to be misinterpreted by the
users and press. Let's cover it up with a better name.

Regards
Jekyll
