Thanks, I have seen the reply now.
Having feedback so fast is great and an indicator that we really want to
tackle Bionic.

I agree with you that Trusty should be "won't fix" but I would have hope

No Xenial isn't easy either :-/
The big change was to switch from a whitelist (which often had issues with
uncommon setups) to a blacklist based approach.
And that change in terms of Ubuntu Releases was Xenial->Bionic.

So my current stance would be, give the ML some time if more people show
up, but considering the Bionic fix more likely to eventually take place.
