UNCONFIRMED
Some people seem to use UNCONFIRMED to mean "Maybe we should WONTFIX this". Isn't UNCONFIRMED supposed to be used only for situations in which no one has been able thus far to reproduce the complained-about problem, but also the results of experimentation haven't yet made it seem unlikely that anyone will be able to reproduce it by the steps described in the bug report?

 * I don't have a strong opinion here. UNCONFIRMED seems to be also used for "I am not convinced that this is a valid request" sometimes, which is close to "I cannot confirm that this is valid" to me. --AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 09:21, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it seems like a good definition would be "possibly INVALID". Leucosticte (talk) 16:29, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Invalid
The definition of invalid here seems to imply upstream issues are invalid, which they usually aren't considered as such. Bawolff (talk) 06:04, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
