Comment 41 for bug 404626

>An "exception" here would set back the release by a whole week, due to the time involved in integrating kernel

So what, the focus should be on quality, not meeting a release date.

>We aren't going to do that for a single piece of hardware that's supported on a best effort basis

What you are saying here is that you would rather impact users than miss your release date. Complete and utter disregard for quality is why Ubuntu will unfortunately never be accepted in the mainstream.

Set the release back a week, and focus on quality for a change rather than continuing to build garbage salads.
