Yeah. If and when. In the meanwhile there is a small patch that can be
applied to update manager to deal with the current issue. I don't
understand why, given that the patch to fix it is so easy, this issue
has languished on and on and on for so long.

I had assumed fixing it was going to be some substantial, big deal, but
as has been pointed out, the patch is less than dozen lines long.
Please just apply it and let's all get on with life and stop wasting our
time on such a trivial issue. Please and thank-you.
