I've read the bug in question. I don't think it should be a barrier to
5.12 adoption. Unfortunately I haven't seen a suggestion on a 'better
way'.
I agree on the test suite failing. I'll be looking into that once I
have a fresh install... right now I suspect some install snafus
because someone built on a new vm and reported no issues with what I
have issues with. I just got new drives... once I've tested those then
I'll reinstall and test more.
