WHATWG specs have two identical "Boilerplate: style-dfn-panel" blocks

[Domenic Denicola]

I haven't spent too much time debugging this. I noticed that CSSWG specs do not have this problem, but I couldn't find what might be causing it in the WHATWG boilerplate.

You can see this in the live deployment of https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/, or reproduce it by cloning a repo and running either make local or make remote.

I can't reproduce this, with both DOM and Bikeshed fully updated and building via make local. Was it a transient issue with all the moving parts taking time to sync up?

[Domenic Denicola]

I can now only reproduce this using make remote, i.e., using the Bikeshed server. Also, the blocks themselves seem different.

Seems like the bikeshed API server is stuck on a random Bikeshed commit from September, so likely a bug got fixed here some time ago. I'll close as invalid and take this as more evidence to stay as far away from the Bikeshed API server as possible :)
