That's why I was asking Alex :)
Sure :-)
I have four systems in my house running Fedora. Two I've updated to F32
because I don't care if I lose personal time to messing around with F32
the day of the release. That's how I've been able to confirm it fixes
this bug.
A third is my router-desktop. Rarely used with a display and affects other
people if I slow reboot it for upgrade + relabel. Bug isn't a problem there.
But my work laptop on F31 is where I spend 80% of my time. Its the most...
temperamental of the machines. F31 has been more stable than 29 or 30 before
it. Until I know F32 is stable on the others, I'm not going to update it.
I'll probably wait for the next company holiday or a weekend.

And yeah, agreed. Backports are time consuming. But this is F31, not F30.
There's at least another 6 months of support on this distro (technically...)
and as referenced on that ticket, I'm not the only one that has hit it;
there's about 10 people CC'd or replying saying they're affected.
Plus -- all I'm looking for is a yes/no. Is that too much to ask a
maintainer? :-)
