Regardless, I certainly never said *all* HP servers were affected by
this. I believe I said "a large swathe of HP servers". While I
recognise these servers are no longer supported by HP, they are still
widely deployed and in use. I apologise if my choice of wording
caused confusion or was misleading but I don't think it really changes
whether or not we should fix the bug.
