No further comments within 5 weeks, and it doesn't seem like there's
anything to do here. I'm therefore closing this bug.
If anyone disagrees with that, feel free to reopen the bug report, or
just reply back to state your opinion. If anyone does that, may I
suggest to then also include a suggestion for what to do.
Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
