The best person to address this is Lauren, or someone who she is going
to point to. I couldn't add her on the Cc of the bug as she seems to
be not registred in the Bugzilla at Yocto Project server. In either I
am added her in CC of this message to gather her attention to this
thread and the bug number.

Thanks for reporting it.
