Yep, it's already 1,5 month this bug is here, and I assume that most of those who have encountered this bug didn't bother filling a bug report (or maybe they don't even know about it).
Still, most of the reports seem to be somehow connected to either NVidia GPU or chipset (correct me if I'm wrong), so maybe Canonical can't really do anything about this bug. But still that silent "ignore" mode for this bug is annoying.

Maybe this bug is assigned to the wrong team? I've checked stuff assigned to them - there are some bugs from 2006 which are still unresolved.

I've personally installed freshest Fedora on my laptop, and no similar heat issue so far. Even though it is somewhat flawed compared to Ubuntu, it doesn't destroy machine with constant overheat.
