Comment 16 for bug 1688018

1. It has been four months since this bug - it its original incarnation (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1671606) - was reported.

2. The bug is critical: it breaks security software.

3. The bug has been reported to Ubuntu, which has paid employees.

4. The bug is a regression and hence presumably not especially hard to fix.

Inference from the conjunction of 1, 2 and 3: *this bug should have been fixed by now*. Yet, it has not. Nor has any explanation been provided as to why not, at least not here. Not has there been a shortage of people asking, politely, for a fix.

Perhaps then a slightly more strident question is in order. To wit: **what gives?** This is the sort of unfixed major problem that drives people back to Windows and Mac OS. (I know that https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1 is closed, but still.)
