Comment 220 for bug 370173

paul, charleys - is that official ubuntu view that users who find this issue being painfully annoying and months with burning hot laptop is a bit too much - should go and change distro (and what this next suggestion was)?

I for one find it too, tad slow reactions for bug that really fucks up laptop users experience with ubuntu.

You think I should go? You know what, progress like this finally MAKES me go, if I get too pissed of that I just have to run windows now already weeks and monts on end, just because my linux distro will probably burn my legs or my hardware. And if solution will not start coming out, then I look at the calendar and guess what, I am afraid of that next release! Seriously. What if you make my laptop smoke and my harddisk park/unpark quickly enough and some third trick somewhere else... ? What if something like this just happens to find its way to next release? That group of users seems te be minority, who are affected, so You can miss it, right? Well, I cannot afford it. I have to be able to use my laptop. Critical shit like this, (minority usergroup or not), should get fixed, even if it is temporary band-aid first and, quickly. Then take your time to fix a real problem.

No way to make some quick update to 904 with custom little program that would run all your tests that you need, collects all the information necessary and what not? Add it to update and notify for example laptop-users that there has been an issue and if they please run this test thingie, to determine, if they are affected. If preliminary test is positive, tell them and lets run some more specific test. And send you raport about it. Like this (forgot the name, running windows currently) "hardware testing" or whatnot...
