I agree with you in this case.

D1 is in heavy commercial use at Sociomantic, and we are still 
submitting patches to DMD, and we frequently search bugzilla for 
open D1 bugs. But AFAIK *nobody* is using D1 Phobos.
The only remaining role of D1 Phobos, AFAIK, is to allow the D1 
test suite to run.

I think that we should close all D1 Phobos bugs as WONTFIX. 
Realistically they are never going to be fixed, and I don't think 
anybody cares.
(Or, if the bug also applied to D2, but is already fixed in D2, I 
think it would be perfectly valid to mark it as FIXED).
