I want to clarify this.

I think the problem might be that "Resolved - Fixed" is being used
incorrectly. As far as I know, there are many cases where this
resolution
is used where one of "Resolved - Not an Issue" (though not too often),
"Resolved - Irreproducible", "Resolved - Won't Fix", or "Resolved -
Obsolete" should be used.

Is that what you are seeing, Kay?


​Well maybe so. In the past, I have used RESOLVED-FIXED to determine
what's been committed to our source, thus leading to a Target Release.
Yesterday, I started going through RESOLVED-FIXED items to be sure
some of
these fixed issued did have a Target Release. Some of these
RESOLVED-FIXED
issues seem to be either user support issues/questions that do not entail
source code corrections at all, or similar type situations. In one of the
cases I sited above, I think the issue originator marked it with
RESOLVED-FIXED, and really i don't know if this was the right thing to do
or not.

So, we can use the new NONE (thank you Marcus!) as the Target Release, or
do something else to ignore these types of issues for verification in a
build.
The problem is stemming from the use of BZ as both a code centric problem
reporting mechanism and a user support tool.

I don't think it should be marked RESOLVED-FIXED unless it was actually
fixed, and therefore has a release in which the fix first appears. To
me, RESOLVED-FIXED with a target release of NONE is self-contradictory.

What is the objection to changing the resolution to reflect reality?

no real objection, just the fact there is no other status available to indicate that the issue was resolved successfully. ;-)

For example, if it was a user support issue that does not entail a
source code correction, shouldn't it be marked RESOLVED - NOT_AN_ISSUE
rather than RESOLVED - FIXED with a target date of NONE?

Hm, no. NOT_AN_ISSUE is also not correct as actually it was solved. But not in the code. So, I would suggest another status to reflect this (e.g., RESOLVED - resolved).

But it's OK to set the target to a value other that a version number to make it really visible.
