Comment 9 for bug 1889472

Thank you for the discussion.

Since 8.0 isn't affected, I'm marking this as Fix Released with tasks for Xenial and Bionic only.

I'm on the fence about the suitability for your patch - as the packaging isn't intended to support HA configurations, so maintaining the patch incurs unnecessary maintenance burden.

However, as 8.0 isn't affected, the maintenance would only be necessary for Xenial and Bionic so would be minimal in this particular case, and your patch is non-invasive and relatively trivial.

If you're prepared to take that maintenance on, I'll support you landing SRUs for this (Bionic only if that's all you want, or Bionic and Xenial if you require Xenial). I'd expect you to follow the full SRU procedure please, apart for any necessary review and sponsorship which my team will take on for you.
