Hello Nikolay,

It still doesn't work, so I'm not sure if it make sense to close this. Unless
someone will open next one.

well, I'm sure you know how it should be.

Meta bugs dealing with multiple underlying issues (missing
infrastructure/interfaces, stubs, method implementations) just for the sake of
"make my app work" should be avoided.

If people don't follow-up then let it be.
At one point the missing infrastructure will be implemented and apps
"magically" start to work - the progress will be untracked though.
If you are personally interested on tracking the progress in detail, create
follow-ups as needed (as I do).

Reading the history ... unfortunately even long timers have a different opinion
on this:

I would disagree. The original bug says the video demo doesn't work. This bug
may be fixed, or it could be hidden by a new bug. I'd say leave this open until
the demo works, then close it out.

But do as you want, reopen. I personally don't like this "meta" approach.
Just imagine if everyone takes this approach - you end up with potentially
thousands of "make my app/game X to work" tickets which results in a mess
(overlapping underlying/individual issues, regressing each other).

Regards
