Well... The fact that the problem isn't reproduced or confirmed as a
Arrow bug (rather than a bug in application code, which is IMHO more
likely given the way Flight authentication works) makes it a bit
difficult to hold the release for it.

You don't hold the release for the issue, you hold it for consensus. This
allows other people to come to the same conclusion (or not). That's why
it's called community over code.
