As a side-note: I moved several PRs of mine to RESOLVED, incorrectly
assuming this would "close" them.

Clearly, this was operator error on my side, but it's a data point that
we might consider removing the distinction between RESOLVED and CLOSED.

Wouldn't that make things more complicated, overall?  I think it's
perfectly save to add "Fixed on mainline, will be in GCC 3.4" and then
close a PR.

Ack.
