I was on the "don't do it" side last time, but I'm going to switch
sides and agree with you this time.

I agree only because of the lack of manpower, and large number of
more active modules.

Is there any way to close the tickets such that if anyone does revive
it the tickets could be revived also?  That is, don't just mark them
as resolved+closed, but some other way?
