My point is that their interpretation is valid in terms of blocking
acceptance into their distros:  whether it is valid for anybody else is
more open to debate.  I don't see this as a "big red button" emergency,
myself, and think that fixing the issue upstream as part of the ZF
assignment fixup should be fine.
