Agree. If we start allowing issues to remain open until it is the last issue, we will never finish. In fact, in the past, we've specifically denied requests to hold open particular issues until they are the last issue. If we want to get done in a reasonable time frame, we should act as if every issue is already the last issue. Regards, Maciej
