In cases like this, a ticket should be just "CLOSED" without a second
resolution or with resolution "SEECOMMENT". The rationale for closing the
bug can be added as a comment. The primary problem seems to be that the
"Resolution" setting is _the_ source of misunderstandings. WONTFIX upsets
users. CANTFIX makes the developers look bad.
