16 I checked the bug and it seems to me you're misinterpreting that
17 comment. The "they" he's referring to is the GLI. He says forget about
18 them -- "them" being the GLI. IOW, he knows that's old, and is saying
19 let's move on.

21 Of course, that doesn't help the docs point to something beyond the now-
22 broken 2008.0.
