Why "downgrade"? The importance of a bug should not go _down_ after
confirming (or assuming) that the bug affects several Squid versions.
You might ignore the old bug for the purpose of assigning various labels
to Squid branches, but downgrading it for that reason seems inappropriate.

Downgrading because others cannot reproduce seems inappropriate.
Treating the bug as UNCONFIRMED would the right cause of action if
nobody but Yuri can confirm it. The current MOREINFO state can also be
used as an excuse to ignore this bug for the purpose of assigning
various labels to Squid branches *if* you think that there is actually
no bug there (and that getting more info will only confirm that).

Downgrading bug severity because nobody is working on a fix is wrong.

Please note that Eduard is working on fixing that bug, and the bug
metadata (i.e., the Assignee field) reflects that fact (to the extent
our Bugzilla can reflect it). We are on the tenth patch revision, but
are probably approaching usable state.


HTH,
