Re: Overuse of "AssumedStale" Issue Tag

What some call a bug others call a feature. Since bug is generic for all issues, features, and requests making the assumption that won't fix is also equally invalid. Unless you are going to spend the time and effort to validate all the items you are making a large presumption upon others.

Tim in a very sarcastic mode.

Stale implies that these bugs no longer exist, ASSUMESTALE I suppose means that whoever is closing the bug doesn't even care enough to check to see if the bug exists or not, but presumes that it doesn't. Since I've seen very few bugs fix themselves I have no idea where this presumption comes from. WONTFIX is a much better fit. That acknowledges that there is a bug, but for whatever reason no one wants to fix it. Which with the 'you could have submitted a patch yourself' response, seems to be exactly what's going on here.
