I agree, currently the LATER acts as a blackhole and there is no structured
process to re-evaluate these kind of bugs.
I have done a lot of reading of these bugs and many were filed 3 to 5 years
ago, I think it's better to say WONTFIX then to suggest that this is
something that is going to be fixed.
It is about expectation management :)

The question is, when is LATER? Technically,

nobody will ever see them again and that's
how they will be forgotten.
I would interpret 'LATER' as 'this bug should be re-evaluated after a
certain period of time'.
Following this train of thought, a LATER bug should have a re-evaluation
date planned, after which it is changed back to NEW. This probably is not
possible, but I think it makes sense to change LATER bugs to NEW after,
say, a year or so.
