[sv-ec] Mantis 2055 : coverage bin distribution

Mantis 2055 mentions a modified formula to be used for coverage bin
distribution specifically for section 18.5.2, which deals with automatic
bins. 
 
The distribution technique for sized vector bins (ref the underlined
line shown in the excerpt below) is different from the distribution
scheme described in Mantis 2055. 
 
Is this difference intended or both these distribution schemes should
match so that we have a consistent bin distribution method?

(section 18.5) ------------------------------------------
 
If a fixed number of bins is specified and that number is smaller than
the specified number of values, then
the possible bin values are uniformly distributed among the specified
bins. The first 'n' specified values are
assigned to the first bin, the next 'n' specified values are assigned to
the next bin, etc. Duplicate values are
retained; thus the same value can be assigned to multiple bins. If the
number of values is not divisible by the
number of bins, then the last bin will include the remaining items. For
example:
 
bins fixed [4] = {1:10, 1, 4, 7};
 
The 13 possible values are distributed as follows: <1,2,3>, <4,5,6>,
<7,8,9>, <10,1,4,7>. If the number of
bins exceeds the number of values, then some of the bins will be empty.
