In that case, my request would be that the entire bug be recorded
and kept open for future fixing (e.g., todo list or whatever):
design + implementation + doc.
IOW, let's not use the fact that the design, in addition to the
doc, is faulty as an excuse to just drop this. If it needs
fixing and you cannot or do not want to tackle that now, then
it should be kept open for fixing later.
