Perhaps; I don't know.  Its priority is so low here that I'd
rather not spend time thinking about whether it belongs in the
bug database.  For more on the topic of priorities please see

My suggestion was meant to be a helpful one, in that it proposed
a course of action that's far more likely to get the bug fixed.
Surely that's the main point here.
