Maybe this specific issue isn't so critical from a system stability point of view, but regarding what actually LTS (Long Term Support) in reality means is more than critical!!! It's not acceptable an LTS system to not include this kind of bug fixes, especially when a bug is affecting so many people and for such a long time. I mean what is the point to characterize a release as LTS if this kind of stuff are not fixed! How can anybody trust an LTS then? Do we want Ubuntu LTS and Linux in general to be considered a trustworthy operating system or not?
