I used a strong word ("stupid"), but I didn't mean it to apply to you. I assume that you are just now joining this conversation and are not aware that we've been going round and round on this for years (literally, years -- I first opened a bug report which was a predecessor to this bug report, since launchpad didn't exist back then, years ago).
The process itself is clearly pathological. So far, no Ubuntu person has demonstrated the authority and decisiveness to simply remove the broken, harmful component while we work on fixing, replacing, or improving it. It is rather discouraging.
