Comment 9 for bug 1574052

Hi,

I'm also affected. As I work on a collaborative document where I cannot just change the basic document to make workarounds this bug is really a show stopper for me.
Could a maintainer please
 * change importance to medium or more?
 * give some information on why the newer version of titlesec cannot be packaged? I read "The issue has been solved with titlesec version 2.10.2 (released 2016/03/21)" at http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/299969/titlesec-loss-of-section-numbering-with-the-new-update-2016-03-15?
Thanks for your help!
