Indeed.  For me, it's a question of whether this should be resolved as
"Rejected" or "Held for Document Update".  I think "Rejected", because
even if this is an issue that should be revisited, the errata system
isn't meant as an issue tracker.  And it's clear that this doesn't
fall into the category of errata.

Regardless of whether the issue needs to be looked at again: does
anyone really think that, from an errata-system standpoint, this
should NOT be "Rejected"?
