I think that due to the number of people who confuse us for bug reporting sites for Oneiric, and given that about 95% of all current Oneric questions are about bugs, it's easier to close as too localized, because by the time stable Oneric is rolled out, those bugs will have been fixed. AskUbuntu is not for bug fixes, its for general support for Ubuntu and its software. ubuntuforums.org is similar, but they try and point you to bug fixes, while closing bug-report-like threads.

The goal should be similar here: if a bug is found and reported, it will most lilkely be fixed when stable comes along, and we should not be trying to fix Alpha/Beta versions of Ubuntu Operating Systems, thus the current way of handling things is sufficient.
