I don't expect the fix to get into 17.10, with or without Ubuntu developers.

Related problems have been known in GNOME since 2015. Red Hat's Florian Mullner wrote patches a year ago for this issue, and Kerignar wrote a GNOME extension to disable caribou.

I expect the fix to eventually get into Ubuntu without any Ubuntu developers. I expect this to happen the same exact way that the problem got into Ubuntu in the first place. Remember, this problem didn't exist in 17.04 Ubuntu GNOME! Ubuntu 17.10 simply includes GNOME 3.26 with this bug. No Ubuntu developers tested GNOME 3.26 and protected Ubuntu from suffering this GNOME bug. Ubuntu will simply include 3.28 or some future edition of GNOME in the future, that will eventually include a correction to this bug, again WITHOUT Ubuntu developers.

Andrea Azzarone even said they won't work on it until 18.04.

Don't tell me not to "edit war". It takes at least 2 sides to have an edit war. You are not righteous or above edit warring. You are equally to blame for the edit war.

It is important to mark this bug as the master bug for the 3 clearly advantageous reasons I've repeated so many times.
