Hmm, other minor developers like Redhat seem to do the same thing.

Hi, Ben!

Yes, that's because the "known problems" page concept is weird, IMO.
EPICS does it too, and I've complained about that previously.  People
expect that if you know about a problem, you will fix it and make a new
patch release.

Kind regards,

Lewis
