[c-nsp] ASR920 is a ticking timebomb (CSCvk35460)

[David White, Jr. (dwhitejr)]

Hi Reuben,

Unfortunately, 'Terminated' in this case has double meanings.  It in 
fact does mean exactly what you have stated, 'a conscious decision was 
made not to fix this bug'.  However, it /also/ means 'Unreproducible - 
we are unable to reproduce the issue, and need additional information 
before we can proceed further'.

In the case of CSCvk35460, it's the Unreproducible meaning which 
applies.  So, opening a TAC case is not a waste of time.

Sincerely,

David.
