Is cleaning up old issues worthwhile?

[Matthew Pickering]

I'm not sure the benefit of marking these tickets obsolete is. You may
as well just close them. Someone can reopen them if they disagree.

There could be some arguent for adding tests from these old tickets
but tbh they are so old that if the bug still exists there is probably
a newer ticket.
