I've starred a load of Android bugs in that tracker; and over the last few weeks, loads of them (many tens) have been flagged Obsolete. Many of them are absolutely not obsolete; they're as relevant in 5.0 as they were when they were raised. It's great that they're cleaning up the issue tracker as if they might actually use it (or maybe it's preperation to move to GitHub, as many other Google projects have been), but it sucks that they're just blanked fobbing off a load of relevant cases :(

No, they don't clean anything. For me, this is just enterprise in action. They send a clear message that any free work that you did for them will be used as they see fit. That includes sending it to the trash. So much for 'community'. When it's a company involved, the sense of participation is dissipated by the monetary interests of the shareholders (which you are not one of). On their defence, who do you think will check any pending fixes for those bugs? Do you take ownership on that? They sure don't. And they are busy with the next release anyway. Why bother with your two year old phone?
