~~Ghast are not undead mobs.~~
Edit: Nvm just read the related bug, TBD I guess

But ghasts are not undead right?

I don't think ghasts are undead, isn't this intentional?

Very likely WAI per resolution of MC-238622 and the Mojang comment left below the report.

Not just likely, smite is directly related to being undead, those reports got WAId with the reason being them not being undead. So it is definitely WAI.
