While not everyone uses VERIFIED and CLOSED, they are handy for a proper
bug tracking system as it is good to know that what was done to mark it
as FIXED actually worked for the reporter. Otherwise, when someone comes
along later and does a REOPEN we don't know if that's because the fix
didn't really work or what.

I'd rather we tried to have people use the methods we have than change
the methods to make it 'easier'.
