I completely agree if the enhancement request is clearly formulated, but
I would like to avoid bugs of the "improve swift" form.

That said, I do assume that there will be exceptions that we would deal
with on a case-by-case basis.

We could have a WILL_EXPIRE_IN_ONE_WEEK. But then we could simply
re-open bugs to object to the expiration. The point is that this forces
us to periodically re-evaluate issues.

We should also agree on a reasonable expiration time. In other words,
how much should a bug be in a WAIT state before we "expire" it?
