I was told that there is a way to mark versions and milestones as inactive in bugzilla. That would allow to keep old bugs pointing to those version/milestones but remove them from the drop down choices. The dropdown has gotten much too long in CDT so if this option is available, I'd like to mark as inactive: - all milestones earlier than sortkey 8800 (so earlier than 8.8.0) - all versions earlier than 8.5 Thanks!
BTW as I was the person who mentioned it on the mailing list I thought I would just make sure I was explicit about what I was referring to. If you edit the individual version via (I think, but I don't have access) https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/editmilestones.cgi, click on CDT, then an individual version you have the option to uncheck "Enabled For Bugs". Hopefully there is a way to mass edit them without going through one version at a time.
If you really don't need these I'd recommend we remove them. -M.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.

Hi, I am trying to pick up some of the work that Marc K used to take on in the releng area, so I'll try and take ownership of this request. To rephrase the original question, is it possible to remove milestones/versions from being set in the UI, but still preserve that information in old bugs?

We could update the milestones/versions with a text tag like 'obsolete' but people would still be able to file bugs against them. -M.

OK, then this is really a feature request for Bugzilla, so nothing to do with Eclipse for now. Closing.
