I'd like to point out that there is only one way to close an issue:
set it to "closed" state.

What you (and everybody else) here is talking about the resolution
(i.e. an indication how the issue was resolved). If you propose that 
there is only one possible resolution, namely "resolved", then
wouldn't it be best to remove the resolution entirely?

Right. I wish this discussion had taken place before the tracker
switchover.
