Comment 1 Randy MacLeod 2020-06-11 07:55:15 UTC 
There is now a work-around so the autobuilder will not encounter this issue. Lower to M+.
Comment 2 Bruce Ashfield 2021-01-28 16:13:21 UTC 
Still no luck reproducing, but bumping the milestone to keep it active.
Comment 3 Randy MacLeod 2025-04-24 18:54:45 UTC 
Bulk move as requesting during YP BB meeting.
Comment 4 Randy MacLeod 2026-02-26 16:09:47 UTC 
I should have recorded what the work-around was.
Bruce if you recall, please let us know.
