What is the value of "shelved"? We have 3 issues with that label and I don't
see what makes them special.
As far as I know, the typical use case would be things like
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/979
where development moved in completely different directions,
obviating the issue.
I agree that it sounds weird to have it on open issues in
the vein of
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/2072
On the other hand, there are also many patch-tracking issues
marked "Patch::abandoned" but still open. That's likely a separate
topic. Maybe we could rename Status::shelved to "Abandoned"
instead of "Shelved"?
The main purpose of this tag would be to exclude such tickets from searches of
open-or-fixed issues, correct? I don't see a good reason to differentiate
between Abandoned and Invalid other than possibly to avoid an emotional
reaction. If that is a problem, we could possibly work around it by choosing a
more neutral synonym (Void?) that works for both.

Avoiding emotional reactions is clearly an important part of this
distinction. Something like "Void" or "Won't fix" would be a good option
in my opinion.
