Maintainer timeout?
I created an update-to-2017 patch (see #211997). I think would be better to update to 2017 and check this bug. But no reaction for two months :( Could you add #211997 to "Depends on" please?
Fixing this problem does not depend on updating. The fix here can be applied independently (i.e., before any update while waiting for it to land, or after - likely with a refresh to the patch). But I noted the update in 'See Also'.
Maintainer reset.
Hi John, Is this still an issue?
^Triage: feedback timeout (> 6 months).
