8 This fixes a non-problem. Why overload metadata.xml with information
9 that will rot there probably, because nobody thinks of it? There is
10 only very few 0-day bump-requests, so just leave them until you fix
11 it. I am not annoyed by it and having some policy like "Only allow
12 them when the relative moon humidity is below 0.434" will irritate
13 bug filers, as they won't check and it burdens
14 bug-wranglers if they have to check before.
