*with Ubuntu Studio hat on*

Honestly, option A seems very sane. I'm against going with dozens or hundreds of patches to accomplish the same goal, and getting Calamares into better shape is definitely a better option.

I did bring up with the Lubuntu team that Calamares did seem to be needing an update, but this was a bit beyond feature freeze, and nobody (including myself) felt comfortable at the time with uploading a new version that close to beta freeze.

However, we have seen what can happen if the installer does not have LTS maintainability and stability, and this does have a detrimental effect on the product. With that, I agree with everything Simon has written and the justification seems sound.

Unfortunately, we have just a month as 22.04.1 is approaching quickly. I have had several recent experiences with SRUs, so I can assist Simon with the SRU if need-be.
