Hi Michael,

OK, that's what I expected, but I had to ask.  Thanks!

May I publicly (hah) share your message to definitively close this
‘bug’ report?

search engines will have indexed those bugs

I might've been unclear: their request was not, AIUI, to make the data disappear from ‘the Internet’ or its archives, so neither of the above are relevant. I agree that that would have been ludicrous, but it is

perfectly possible to edit your hosted copy…

…however, it's absolutely your prerogative to refuse as far as I'm
concerned[0], and I do sympathise with you not wanting to set this

kind of precedent. Thanks for entertaining the question anyway! :-)

Kind regards,

T G-R

[0]: IANA(GDPR)L, and very glad of it.

I'm sorry, but that won't work. The bug database is public, and so are
the date. Many search engines will have indexed those bugs already,
including the real names.

If you run a google search with "Fira Byvire Frirevav" (string puzzled
with rot13), the third hit will show the message on
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50371>.

Furthermore, the bugs are spread via mailing lists, for which we don't
have control. Full data are contained as well.

Please do.
