There was no bug. What we had was a possible ambiguity that was not
causing problems given the set of testers we had when the list was compiled.

We are way past the point where issues like this make a difference for
1.34.0.

For the record I said this in my *first* post regarding this issue.
Just in case you are not aware of this. Currently there is no regression
notification at all for intel-win due to the changed toolset name.
