the issue will clearly be fixed, the question is: when.

Edk2 is now in hard feature freeze for the upcoming edk2-stable202002
tag. See the schedule and the definitions here:

https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Release-Planning

The question is whether you want this fix to be part of the
edk2-stable202002 tag. If not, then there's no rush, the patch series
(the final, reviewed version) will be merged after the tag (after
2020-02-28).

If you do want to get the fix into edk2-stable202002, then:

- you need to demonstrate that the patches implement an important bugfix
(not a feature addition) -- it helps if you describe the problem
symptoms in this case,

- and you and Eric & Ray need to collaborate in a hurry to get the
patches refreshed as necessary, reviewed, and merged.


Thanks
Laszlo
