[rt-users] Changing logo, and viewing *all* tickets?

[Matt Zagrabelny]

There is only one other meta status: __Inactive__

When configuring lifecycles - which are digraphs of statuses, the statuses
are partitioned into either active or inactive.

https://docs.bestpractical.com/rt/4.4.1/customizing/lifecycles.html

I suppose there could be one additional meta status: __Initial__

BP, if you are reading, what do you think?

I don't have a use-case for it, though, but perhaps there exists a need.
Anyhow, this is a theoretical point and mostly a rabbit trail.

Cheers!
