It is definitely dead; 3.3 will be the next release.  And people aren't
being consistent about this: in preparing my first 3.3 bug fix list,
I found that many PRs were closed although still present in 3.2.x
(which, by the way, I agree with; we should just do it consistently).

Even if, for some reason, someone decides to revive it, there would still
be no reason for keeping a bug open that is fixed in a shipped 3.3.

Agreed.  However, if the audit trail already declares the bug fixed
in 3.3 and the trunk, it is safe to close.

No need to check if it also says 3\.3 or 3\.4.
