i've read some of the comments but still don't understand why such an easy patch cannot be held easily by the ubuntu team.
there's a lot of area where ubuntu influence the way the kernel will work , with modprobe configuration files for example.
and /etc/sysctl.conf is already used to override some of the kernel settings.
Why not this one ?
It seems to me that's it's another bad sign that the ubuntu desktop don't really care about Pre-2006 computers with less ram and slower disks. it's where Lubuntu takes off.
Still a serious problem in Precise.
