Bugzilla reports are never deleted. Period.

I suggest you read up on the life cycle of a bug before you spout off. The reporter is free to reopen their bug anytime if they believe that the resolution was inappropriate or when they've improved the bug to the point where it's no longer INVALID.

If the reporter has specific technical suggestions that could be implemented, then bring them on! Specific bugs with a reasonable scope are welcome, generic bugs that specify broad, arbitrary goals are not.

"Make tablet boot in 5 seconds" might as well be "Make Modest super fast", "Make MicroB load pages in under 2 seconds" or really simply, "Make it fast". Put yourself in a developer's shoes, do any of these reports help you make the the software better or faster? No. They're not specific, they're not useful. They basically amount to so much spam.

Thus, INVALID.
