The thing is: if you have 500 crashers open for 2.14 and that never
happened in 2.16/18/20, it'll only make the life harder for people using
bugzilla. And life on bugzilla is already hard.

And really, this is not related to the original proposal here which was,
iirc, dropping old incomplete crasher reports. In my experience, you
receive 99.99% of the crasher bugs during the first six months anyway.
So continuing to receive them after one year doesn't really help since
they were already known.
