Comment 259 for bug 1268257

As long as the current LTS (i.e. 331) drivers are not fixed, I think it is wrong to set the status for nvidia-drivers-ubuntu to "Fix Released". Can someone with the necessary permissions please undo the status change by royalsabz (mehrshad-5843) ? And set the importance to "High", while you're at it? This is a really important high-impact bug that should be as high as possible on the agenda until it's completely fixed for all currently supported releases. In this light, the apparent casual lack of attention from Canonical's side is beyond my comprehension. I can only speculate they're too busy making Vivid attractive enough to lure in new users, and are forgetting about keeping long-time users.

To the people who think that's the right thing to do: please try to weigh the potential harm caused by delaying Vivid a day or so against the actual harm of having thousands of long-time users' desktops breaking en masse because of running seemingly-innocuous kernel updates...
