Some people go around setting fire to embassies when they don't
understand a joke. Doesn't mean we should care about or cater to such
people.

INVALID doesn't necessarily mean it was wrong for the user to file the
bug. Heck, I've closed the occasional bug as INVALID (and sometimes have
even had the reporter do it) after massive debugging sessions and
discussions that go on for dozens of pages.

But... If INVALID is renamed, could we get a new GOAWAY resolution for
people who really deserve it?
