I think this bug report is confusing a problem with a proposed solution. The problem is that duplicate bug reports aren't distinguished from open bug reports in bug listings. Showing them as "Fix Released" would be one possible solution, but there are probably multiple better solutions. For example, use strikethrough through the text of duplicate bug reports, or make their text semi-transparent, or add a duplicate emblem.
