i'm looking forward to this because especially fedora7 triggered lots
of useless 2.18 reports.
i propose to start rejecting 2.18 reports on april 9 (2.22.1 release
date), but there isn't any reason for this - definitely feel free to
ignore. :-)

do we display anything to the user who tries to submit a report from
2.16?
i'd feel much better if bug-buddy presented a friendly "too old, nobody
interested and nobody working on it anymore; complain to your distro
instead" hint to the "blocked" reporter instead of a cryptic "995 too
old" error string or whatever i remember about this topic...

...where they rot away without any feedback or even maintainers knowing
about crash.gnome.org, because it's unusable in its current state. but
that's a totally different topic.
