The problem with that is the dismissal of the time investment by the original filer who may have spent a significant amount of time getting reproducible steps, screenshots, and other relevant information into the bug. It treats users' time as free.

I think there's a subtle but important distinction between _closing_ the old bugs outright, and leaving them open but marking them as "Verify" with a comment like "we're not sure but it may have been fixed with recent work - can anyone confirm if it's still reproducible?"
