You are not on my go-to-guy list since you do not maintain a kernel
subsystem and I don't expect you to keep track of anything. If you post
a link to a rh-bugzilla, I will of course check if that one is still
open or how it is closed. I'm not stupid, I just need some
silver linen threads to find how a regression is solved.

I.e. I don't want a "fixed". I want a "commit xyz fixed this"
or a "I can't reproduce the bug anymore". Either is fine.
