Bugs in 8.0.0 RC1 and trying to convince a colleague that LC is *not* flaky

[Monte Goulding]

Hi Scott

I feel ya… we all have Steve's

I’ve worked out a fix for this but as you have probably already determined there will be resistance to including any non-critical bugfix in LC 8 now. The good news is I can submit a PR today that will be merged into 8.0.1 so don’t poke Steve until that’s released ok.

Cheers

Monte
