Sorry, no, it wasn't a joke.

I don't disagree. It is a bug and as I said I have no objection to
getting it fixed in older stable releases if somebody wants to drive
that. But I maintain it is not a serious issue, because as I explained
it only causes some inconvenience to users during development and
testing and does not affect production systems. Claiming it is a serious
issue dilutes attention from issues that really are serious, which is
why I objected to that statement in this case.

Please see https:/
fix may be trivial, but unfortunately updating the stable release is
not. The risk of regressing users who expect stability means that we
have to take considerable care. For example, an unrelated latent bug
could be exposed by a rebuild. See
