Not necessarily, if the WG decides that.

What I have trouble with is the situation where a bug asks for an 
editorial clarification and is hijacked to remove a certain aspect of 
the spec altogether.

I have no problem with discussing this, and the WG deciding on it, but I 
believe piggybacking it on issue 145 is problematic.
