The bug was reported on 2010-04-29. When was Lucid released? 2010-04-29. Given
the complexity of this bug, as you would have discovered if you had actually
read through the original comments, it was not an easy one to identify. When did
it get fixed *in Lucid*? 2010-05-09. That's 10 days after release. Ten days for
a tough bug like this one. I believe we deserve a little credit.

Then Mint appears, without deploying our patched packages properly, and a whole
bunch of Mint users come here to complain that Mint doesn't work, and blame
Ubuntu for it, and then talk about Mint's superiority. Oh, the irony. Thank you
for trolling, guys. That was fun, wasn't it?

Hell if I know, and I don't give a damn. Maybe some other Ubuntu developers do,
but I don't. Mint can do whatever they want.
