[webkit-dev] Removing keywords from resolved bugs

[David Hyatt]

I don't see any reason to remove the regression keyword after a bug  
is resolved and don't really understand the logic behind suddenly  
doing this to all the regression bugs.

It's still useful even after a bug is fixed to know that it was a  
regression from an earlier build.  What if the bug isn't really fixed  
and has to be reopened?

If the problem is search querying, just refine the query to include  
only bugs that are still open.
