I'm ok with a TODO comment. However the proposed comment does not give
much information to make a later decision. I'd much rather see information on why
the issue is not resolved at this time and where other parts might be impacted.
I do not think that referring to another bugid is sufficient, as Oracle has demonstrated
that bugids are not necessarily part of permanent project memory. Or, to put it another 
way, don't make me search for the conflict to discover an possible answer.
