So if affected distributions is the only reason for CVE ID assignment in this case, it might make sense to postpone CVE ID allocation until we learn of an affected distribution (which we probably won't).But with a CVE name, it is easier for people to refer to this issue, and also easier for distributions to publish an official statement.
Your reasoning makes sense to me. I have no objections to having a CVE ID assigned to this issue, but I have no idea what the policy is on such assignments. Alexander
