I kind-of skipped over a step -- I was thinking of this as a
"postponed" bug, which is exactly why I created @knownissues in
the first place.  I should have modified the bug report, or waited
for Han-Wen and Jan to work it out.

If I said that we didn't include *anything* from the DB in the NR, I was
mistaken -- "postponed" issues can be mentioned in the @knownissues.
Sorry about that.


Basically, there's no way we should discuss this in the main body
of the NR.  If we insert it anywhere, we (as doc people) should
dump a sentence into @knownissues and then get on with life.

It would be nice if somebody just fixed this thing, especially
since it looks like we already know what to do, but that's not my
department.  My main priority is to keep Patrick working on the
docs and not get hung up on this bug.
