That just means the bug won't be fixed until 27.2 or 28.1, right?

Unfortunately my hands are completely tied until Thursday (I shouldn't
even be writing this email!), and either way I think the fix will
involve non-trivial code changes.

Should bug#39200 therefore be marked as no longer blocked by this?

Thanks,
