I'm not sure I fully understand your intent, but please be conservative when 
closing wishes. The people that entered them normally had to work through the 
bugs system to get them in, so those wishes do carry some weight. Also, users 
want to feel involved, and closing their wishes without justification (or 
worse, "thats a dumb idea!") doesn't make for happy customers.

This isn't to say that WONTFIX isn't a valid closure action for wishes that 
are contrary to the basic architecture, or would result in usability 
problems. Just that as stuff is refactored (eg to an integrated PIM 
solution), those wishes are worth a though.
