1) Not all devs care about this. Those who care can keep the UNCONFIRMED
status. That's what this thread is about, more or less.
2) Not everybody sees a need to query open bug reports based on status.
For some, an "I can reproduce this" comment in the ticket might be
sufficient, instead of expressing that via some ticket "status".
3) If the person looking at tickets is a developer, s/he might reproduce
the bug and fix it in the same step anyway. No need to spend time
setting some "status" which might be workflow overhead.
