What? Huh? I have no idea what you think I meant but it's not what I meant.

I'm making a simple point: His backlog is not the reason he's talking about a ticket like this in 2026.

Either he took this ticket this year-ish, or he wrote this year-ish about something that happened long before. It is not the case that he wrote this post years and years ago and it was sitting in the backlog for that long.
