Please be realistic in the severity of your reports; this is a fairly
obscure use case (it's been present for something in the region of ten
years now...) for advanced users which is most likely going to fail
anyway due to the two competing ypbinds trying to run simultaneously.

This is in no way serious enough to justify blocking the release of the
package.

Yes, that's going to be the case.
