Yeah, the thing is though... that's fine and dandy. People will see/say, 
"gee willikers... this many tickets were found/fixed... but look at the 
huge amount that was pushed over to the next future version but once 
again!"

Example, stuff like this are but a coin toss on what-to-do with it...
http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4754
http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5220

a) (choose what's best, via a "vote") then commit it..
b) (rather then constantly bump it) just flush (delete) it

Uh, not really THAT complicated... last I knew, stuff like those tickets 
won't affect the Admin redesign either... But ah well, let's keep 
kicking it forward... who knows, maybe by the year 2020 it will get some 
love... Let's flip a coin.. head = keep / tails = heap...
