That is a good question, I think yes if anybody is interested to
further pursuade this, but I fear it must be upstreamed as report. I
personally will not have the capacity to coordinate this.
Given you still have the issues, I'm inclined to yes, to reopen the
bug, but I really would like to defer this decision to you as the
person affected.
As you might have noticed, I had done some cleanup of just quite old
bugs, either without resolution or with indication they affected old
versions of the kernel. The massive list of open bugs in such a state
would otherwise cause us recurring problems, but it is a general
problem. But if the bug is still valid, then the intention is not to
"hide" the problem.
So if it's important enough, please reopen!
Thank you again, for replying!
Regards,
Salvatore
