Precisely.

Meta-Wiki allows [[m:stewards]] to change rights across Wikimedia wikis. As I
read comment 0, if a steward changes the user rights of "Jimbo Wales@enwiki"
(who has a user ID of 24 on the English Wikipedia), the Meta-Wiki user with the
same numerical user ID (as it happens, "Phil Bordelon" has a user ID of 24 on
Meta-Wiki) will be incorrectly notified of a user rights change.

If you take a look at [[m:Special:Log/rights]], it's pretty clear that this is
a blocker to deployment. These interwiki rights changes happen very frequently.

I just want to say thank you very much to Alex for catching this prior to
deployment. Nice work!
