They are independent features. While I would agree with adding more statuses (that can be optional in the usage workflow, i.e. you can always go directly to RESOLVED) I would personally advocate for not having to have both needinfo options, and I think that reporting can be fixed. That said, yes, we could enable the flag at any time. -- Luigi
