what your text says is that there are bugs which will not have to pass through the war team to be in the system because they will already BE AUTOMATICALLY ENTERED. i'm not really sure why you picked isentos as the right answer here but it is WRONG!!!

agree sarahjeanne (X) : sim, que eu entendo de uma coisa ser grandfathered in é que é uma coisa já existente que passa a fazer parte de uma outra coisa sem beauracracia; pelo seu context essa definição bate mais.
