    <thetext>(In reply to comment #1)
&gt; I&apos;ll take this one. Resolution of this bug will depend on the outcome of 18744
&gt; and 18745.

I believe that is the other way around Ted. The resolution will depend on outcome of the Formal Objection.

Hopefully it will all be resolved amicably.</thetext>
