Yes.
People are much less likely to put in a 'fresh' bug report if an entry is already in the bug-base.
Q: "When is a problem not a problem?"
A: "When I ignore it for more than a year."
Bugs die of lonliness when left uncorrected?
Please consider each case on its technical merits, not longevity.
Else, one or more of us could while away a pleasant evening 'refreshing' all entries with accession numbers <306...
Does that make sense?
