If the bug has a release task for a release that is End of Life and you
are no longer able to reproduce the bug with a current release then the
release task should be set to Won't Fix. That currently is done by the
Ubuntu Release team during the End of Life process but all bugs may not
be automatically closed and this was not done for every release.

If the bug does not have a specific release task and is no longer
reproducible the bug task should be set to Invalid. However, if you
happen to know what version of the software the bug was fixed in (and
ideally can provide a reference) then Fix Released would be most
appropriate. When in doubt though Invalid would be fine.

Thanks for asking!

This also reminds me I should have a look at the bugs I've reported over
the years.
