Comment 16 for bug 1892983

I should add that the original complaint stumbled on this bug while searching the issue. The MAAS task is new, and has been triaged. Fixing this bug from my end (the Checkbox end) WILL NOT fix the issue in MAAS so these are separate issue that have manifested from the same underlying problem with Huawei's use of non-UTF8 characters here. IMO the MAAS part should have been a separate bug.

So just to set expectations, the problem with MAAS commissioning will be addressed separately by the MAAS team and the checkbox part of this bug is very low priority and will likely not be addressed for some time to come, since we are not currently certifying Huawei hardware until we work out how to handle the spun-off x86 server line.
