Annoying, but probably depends on circumstances. The fact that it took
a while to even be noticed presumably means it's not common or holding
anything up.

That said, th4e last HID pull I have is from March 14. If the issue is
just that there's nothing else happening, I think people should just
point me to the patch and say "can you apply this single fix?"
