Is this so hard to fix? Or important?

Abandoned is a relative term.  It just had a release a few months ago
so I wouldn't consider it abandoned and planned replacement doesn't
mean the death of it, it could be months, maybe even years before it's
replacement is finished and approved but even then somebody should
track the bug and make sure the case still isn't the same.
