If we collect the data that version X fixes CVE Y, then the bug can be closed automatically when version >= X is built, and it's entirely as safe as today. We don't tell packagers they must try to actively exploit their new build to ensure the exploit has been fixed (at least I hope we don't ...) Collecting that data should be possible. I have suggested that we work with GNU and other Linux distros to start encouraging upstreams to provide this data mechanically.
