IMHO, it would be better to solve the problems in the issues rather
than try to close the issues as duplicates of each other.  If you
solve the problem in #16 and #17 it may very well include solving
the problem in #21 and you could then close them all.

Attempts to just "close" issues because they seem similiar
is a road rittled with pot holes.  Good engineering would dictate
that you solve problems, not simply delete them from your objective
list because you think they are the same as another problem.

It appears to me that your trying to make the work load look
less by deleting the list of items that need to be solved,
this does not in anyway reduce the work that shall need to
be completed in order for L4S to be a viable solution.
