Right, but as you point out, this upload won't fix this.

That's true, but I'd expect users doing anything *new* to be doing it on 16.04 or on 16.10, where I presume this bug is already fixed? Changing this in 14.04 will change behaviour (as is intended), but this could equally break users relying on particular previous behaviour.

My opinion would be different for 16.04. For 14.04, I'm on the fence, and I'd like a second opinion from another ~ubuntu-sru.
