That need to close bugs?

[gothicx at sapo.pt]

Hi!

I think the new feature of LP 1.1.9 to automatically close bugs after  
61 days, will be good to close most of non-important bugs.

How about to introduce it also to Answers ? To get them expired...

I like also the solved answers will not appear in LP account, just in  
search.. like the bugs.

Thanks!
