Right now, we have the image exterminator, which removes images from the KB which are not being used in any articles. Sometimes people upload bad screencasts (either it sucks, or it doesn't fit in the viewing area), and a few tries are needed. The editor can get packed with unused screencasts (which is especially difficult when there are no previews to tell them apart).

We should have something similar to the image exterminator, but for screencasts.

It's best not to mark an old bug as a dupe of a brand new one filed by a Mozilla employee. It makes the original reporter feel like there was no point in filing the original bug.

Hey Chris, no offense. It's just that the new bug will take care of something else and fixing this bug will be a by-product of that. I could have also just edited this bug's summary and added a comment, but your comment makes no sense by now for anyone but James, and might have lead to more confusion and more questions. If it was someone else who filed the bug I would have probably left a comment to that effect. Anyway, long way to say that I'm not ignorant to your sentiment, and I hope you don't feel like there was no point in filing the original bug.
