Why is using RESOLVED/LATER bad?
Bugzilla provides a better way of handling this: you can leave the bug in the NEW state, but just update the ‘target milestone’ to be LATER (each project has its own milestones, so each project will need to add a target milestone of LATER to make this work). That way, the bug is still in an OPEN state (as opposed to a CLOSED state, as defined in the bugzilla statuses document) and as such, comes up in any search looking for open bugs. However, you’ve still got the ability to filter out the LATER milestones in your reports, if you want to.
