We're approaching the release date so I would like to wrap this up.

As I understand it, there is indeed an issue in the emulator, but a
proper fix that take into consideration all cases has not been proposed.

Should we make this a blocker for the release? I'm inclined to say no
because it has been like this for a long time and doesn't seem to cause
trouble for our main use case.

Thoughts?

Wei.
