Somehow, I find their reasoning as to why they're not going to fix it ("Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this tim"") somewhat ... backwards. I would easily come to the conclusion that being broken is reason to schedule an update.

I realize this is Big Enterprise-ware, but I still think they could do more, e.g. point the user towards some Emacs-specific tracker maybe.

That's a bot, not a person. It does things automatically depending on flags and dates to clean things up.

Well, this was just reported on Saturday, so I doubt anyone has really had a chance to look into it seriously, let alone reproduce the issue.

It looks like it could be a bad bug, but I think it's premature for HN front page at this point. Get a few more reproductions and additional data before sounding the alarm. There are probably other bugs more worthy of such attention at this point.
