Current evaluation

Feature request to print a helpful error message when Docker breaks LXD (suggesting iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT), instead of just timing out. Created by maintainer lengau, no labels, no comments, no assignee, 1028 days old.

Suggested action: needs triage

Reason: The issue lacks labels, has no assignee, and has zero comments or maintainer engagement beyond the author (who is a maintainer). The underlying problem (Docker breaking LXD networking) is still relevant — the iptables fix is applied in CI (spread.yaml:377, .github/workflows/spread-docs.yaml:63) but the application itself still just times out without a helpful message. No evidence it was deprioritized or resolved.
