Subject: [Rd] cleaning up the BUGS list
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.31.0101081153450.25779-100000@auk.stats>

In looking over the bugs list, it seems to me that most of them are
things we can no longer do anything about, because they are on old
versions or broken systems or were features or ....

There are now so many they obscure the bugs needing attention.

I am about the remove the following.  If anyone thinks they are still
relevant, could you please send a follow-up to R-bugs with details under
1.2.0 or later.  (Please do put (PR#xxx) on the subject line.)
