The Right Thing to do would be to close these bugs as WONTFIX, because they're about Diablo and will not be fixed for Diablo.

There's not one single bug about Fremantle, so it's not logical to close them for Fremantle.
Hi. I've been going around the public bugzilla for the last couple of days, wontfixing/assigning a bunch of bugs for Fremantle - I'll try to do more if I have the time - so perhaps I should also comment here.

Yes, assigned for Fremantle also means wontfix for Diablo, unless it's absolutely system critical. Yes, in many cases the fix in Fremantle is caused by Fremantle doing something different than Diablo, so on some cases it is hard to say between fixed and wontfix. I tried to do those judgments based on the whether the user need/feature in question that the bug addresses will be improved in Fremantle or now.

If the general consensus really is that it would be better for me to just set "Wontfix -> Diablo" instead of indicating that if the issues will be addressed in Fremantle (or in Harmattan) in some cases, please then comment. I personally assumed that it's of some ... aid to know that the issue in question will eventually get addressed or not, even though not in terms of a new Diablo release.
