Hi all,

Last night, I started classifying issues on our gitlab issue tracker and got totally carried away and bulk closed the older (\>5 yrs) issues. Since then I was properly put in my place that this was not the right thing to do. I apologize. My intentions were pure but my actions were clumsy. I am trying to encourage the community to pay closer attention to the issue tracker.
