While the duplicates handling is being changed, could the wording of the automatic "Possible duplicate of..." comment be changed? I know I can edit this by hand afterwards, but maybe it would be nicer if the comment said something like: "This may already be answered by....", which

  2. Focuses on the ability to find the answer, rather than on the question's status
  3. Is in line with the new rules which require dupe candidates to be already answered

Duplicated question and "may have been answered" are different. –  nhahtdh Feb 2 '13 at 21:36
Love the current wording. Sounds like a compiler warning. –  GSerg Feb 2 '13 at 23:53
