MemTest bug still exists - why?

[petermity]

When I first tried Cobbler, choosing MemTest in the PXE menu just
flickered and did nothing.  I quickly realized it's because its
image is in the wrong place on the server.

Searching the mailing list, this was discussed, and a patch
suggested, over 2 years ago.  Over 1 year ago, Trac issue #574
was entered for it.

Is there a reason it hasn't been fixed yet?

For now, I fixed it manually.  Actually, fixing it manually, it
gets broken again at the next "cobbler sync".  To work around it,
I created file /var/lib/cobbler/triggers/sync/post/fix-memtest
with content:

   #!/bin/bash
   cp /var/lib/tftpboot/memtest* /var/lib/tftpboot/images

and did chmod +x on it.  Now MemTest works after "cobbler sync".

I guess it was fixed? At least I provided a patch and it seems to be 
working.

Thanks,
