But then the bug should be NEW, nobody is checking for a bug that is marked LATER. I mentioned WORKSFORME because i suspect that some of the LATER bugs have been resolved by now. Diederik

Hi folks,
Currently, we have a 'LATER' resolution in Bugzilla, it contains 339 bug reports over all the products, see:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&list_id...
The question is, when is LATER? Technically, these bugs are not open and
so
nobody will ever see them again and that's how they will be forgotten.
To me, it seems that bugs that are labeled LATER should either be
labeled:
- WONTFIX, which I guess is the majority of these bugs
- WORKSFORME, I am sure some things have been fixed
- NEW, it is a real bug / feature request.
LATER means we can't or won't do it (right now) but that is likely to change in the future. WONTFIX implies "no and this is not likely to change"
WORKSFORME is unrelated.
