Excellent. :-)

Are you able to tell HPE about it so they can work on a fix in their own
version of the code base ?

If you want me to report it to them directly, can someone associated
with HPE please tell me the best email address to use to contact HPE
VMS Engineering directly ?

It's not a security issue so using the HPE security reporting mechanism
would be inappropriate.

Thanks.

It was more a general question about how much re-evaluation of any
original design assumptions is done when a new feature is added.
