My understanding of wontfix is that it is for things which might legitimately considered bugs, but which would be too complex to implement to fix or other similar situation. I think this should be seperate from notabug, which should be to indicate that something really is not a bug, but is being kept around for historical reasons, to avoid duplicate reports, etc. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
