Ditto.

Having separate resolutions for bugs and features makes it harder to
find all issues that have been closed as "bug fixed or feature
accepted", because you cannot select multiple resolutions when
searching.

With one resolution, you can simply search for "fixed" issues. If you
only want to find feature requests that were accepted, search for
type=feature and resolution=fixed.
