bodhi always closes bugs?

Does bodhi always automatically close the bugzilla bugs whose #s you list
in the update?  The old updates system (for FC-6) has a checkbox for this.

This seems like a bad thing.  I like to list the related #s, while a)
sometimes giving reporters a chance to verify before closing them and b)
listing some that were reported against fc6 or devel in the f7 update and
vice versa.  This is for updates where devel, F-<n>, and F-<n-1> are all
getting the same rpm modulo %dist at the same time.  It's anal overkill to
clone each bug for each other version, and I'm not going to do it.  It's
just unfriendly to the users to omit the bug # from the update just because
it's a bug only reported for a different Fedora release, so I don't want to
do that either.  It's not the end of the world for fc6 and devel bugs to
get closed by a robot saying "this here F-7 update fixed it", but it's not
really what I as the maintainer this robot serves want it doing in my name.

I didn't file this at https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/bodhi/newticket
because "TICKET_CREATE privileges are required to perform this operation".


Thanks,
Roland
