That about sums up my opinion.

Questions I think about:

- If something is still relevant, is it better for a user to see we've marked it "Won't Fix" or better if it is open.
- What about new features or improvements that are possible work for new contributors.  Is it better for them to be closed or open if we still want the functionality?

For example, would all the unfinished validation work be closed?
