This was more for my thinking on Bugzilla status. I think of WONTFIX as being "we will never do this because of technical reason X so a patch is unlikely to be applied" vs. LATER being "we have no plans to do this but would consider a patch."

Which is where I think we are on this one. Having looked into it, I
viable patch that isn't hugely more complex and expensive than what we
have seems very unlikely.

Those just tend to get left as open enhancement requests. We don't
really use the LATER status at all.
