Comment 151 for bug 930447

@mtu: "This is a crazy display of arrogance and ignorance on Canonical's part..."

You might think that. I might think that. And certainly I think this has the potential to affect many disadvantaged people around the world, trying to reuse old but serviceable hardware.

But 'mtu', look at the numbers. There are bugs where 1,000+ people have marked them as being affected. This bug has been marked by 72.

Find 1,000 friends with Thinkpads and you might get noticed! Better still, find someone with the skills to fix this.

As you'll see from my earlier comments, I too am most unhappy with the policy, but I'm trying to be realistic and pragmatic and look at alternatives such as Debian.
