In my eyes that's a good thing, it would immediately let you know that:

  - the problem persists and hasn't been solved to date
  - no one actually cares enough to solve it because the discussions just die out until someone runs into it
  - the problem is also unimportant enough for it not to warrant either a resolution, or getting closed by the devs as a "won't fix"

If i saw an issue like that, i'd just reconsider what i'm doing and would look for another technology/library for my needs. Essentially, seeing the above would just be a red flag.
