    I agree this is not a particularly urgent/important bug.  If there
are more important bugs to fix and we have limited fixer bandwidth, I
don't think it would be unreasonable to mark this as "won't fix" or the
like.  I reopened this mostly because it was closed with the state
"fixed/gone", which is incorrect.
