Description MZMcBride 2014-02-27 04:41:41 UTC 
We have some bugs in this Bugzilla installation that are pretty old and when you load them in a Web browser, Bugzilla shouts "NEW" at you in reference to the bug report. This seems a bit strange. A bug that's several years old isn't new.

Would it make sense to rename the status to "OPEN"? Or "TICKET"? Or "ISSUE"?

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486292 (Summary: Upstream uses "CONFIRMED" instead of "NEW" nowadays, and change "ASSIGNED" to "IN_PROGRESS")

Comment 2 Andre Klapper 2014-08-26 20:00:11 UTC 
This would break any externally saved Bugzilla query URLs (e.g. in browser bookmarks), hence unlikely to happen though I'd like to see it, plus soon to be superseded by Phabricator.
