Comment 9 for bug 693303

Well, after a full LTS cycle we now learned a lot about Ubuntu LTS quality - for LAMP servers this LTS release was a mega-fail - sticking with an ancient and buggy version is no option, installing PPAs from doubtful sources that are left alone and still vulnerable in launchpad today is also not what you would expect from a quality LTS server release. Building everything yourself - well, there are better distros out there if you want to go that way.

The last answer "There is a new LTS in april" is just the last act of a very badly produced play - may this bug 693303 be a historic warning for LAMP admins that are playing with the idea of "going ubuntu" - read and learn!

Hopefully 12.04 will have some more professional PHP support - I personally do not know any pro admin still trusting Ubuntu, so it will need another full LTS release cycle to make us forget the catastrophe that you presented us with this poor php handling and build trust in the admin community - my best wishes, we will keep an eye on your upcoming release and it´s php policy!
