I think many people are just going to opt for the "Show Not Resolved" option 
(myself included) while getting an idea of things being considered over the 
"Search" option; however I really don't think that it showing "Rejected" issues 
is really that much of a problem. I mean, I do agree that perhaps it would be 
better to not include them, but since they're a different color, it's not hard 
to just ignore them either.

Honestly I'm quite indifferent about it. If it happens that's great, but it 
hasn't really crossed my mind either.
