------- Comment #2 from richlowe at richlowe.net  2008-04-15 12:09 PDT -------
Beyond this, the comments marked NO_GATE mention that single
consolidation, multi-gate RTI's will not be properly checked.

A comment with the same tag in Rti.py suggests that wx doesn't support
this either, but doesn't go on to compare exactly how and why they
fail.

I'm told that multi-gate RTIs are only really used (in ON) for
sustaining.  Integration to Nevada will also have one RTI
per-consolidation, and that RTI will not mention sustaining gates for
prior releases.  Only when a patch is backported may *that* RTI
perhaps list on10-patch, on10-feature-patch, on81-patch, and friends.

This may mean that in practice the above is not problematic for us in
general (as the sustaining gates will stay TeamWare, and I think the
associated SUNWonbld should be used with them(?)), so this may not
matter at all until there's a Nevada sustaining gate.

However, it'd be nice to know how our "not supported" matches the
behaviour of a plain wx rtichk, and whether we wish to/can support such an
RTI properly.

Reading the bits in wx left me vaguely wondering whether webrticli did
the right thing in that situation, under the hood, such that the
suggestion that wx did not support this is wrong (we specify a gate,
and lookup a bug id, my guess at "the right thing", would be that it'd
find any RTI mentioning that bug and that gate, patch or otherwise, no
matter how many gates were listed in the bug).  That maybe our
behaviour, too, for all I know.

Someone on SWAN, with access to a set of sample RTIs with more than
one gate specified needs to test this, and decide whether to fix it.
