Thats the claim being made when selecting the default. Do you believe 
that searching through bugzilla for all the closed bug report makes 
better sense as the default?

Then reopen it asking for an update against the current release or file 
another bug report asking for a fix or better yet provide a patch 
depending on the severity of the bug. Some of the fixes would of course 
be only available in the next release. I dont see this as improvement 
that affects triaging.
