syncer reassigned this task from zsdc to dmbaturin.
syncer triaged this task as Normal priority.
syncer moved this task from Need Triage to Finished on the VyOS 1.3 Equuleus board.

Cherry-picked into crux.

dmbaturin renamed this task from "show firewall ...." does not show information correctly in specific cases to "show firewall ...." doesn't support counters with more than eight digits.Sep 11 2019, 10:34 PM
dmbaturin set Is it a breaking change? to Unspecified (possibly destroys the router).
