omg i am just now upgrading my dual-boot laptop on my workplace while reading this.
i am an experienced linux user since 15 years, using lfs and gentoo as sole OS for most of them, switching to debian and now ubuntu.
I have seen many of these "super-bugs" in these years, explainable only by 1. carelessness, 2. arrogance, 3. dullness, 4. sabotage.
yes, sabotage. we all know that microsoft pays billions in its fight against linux, so there are surely coders that would take that extra money for creating bugs that do not only affect new users, but even the confidence of long time linux users.
people introducing such major bugs, that affect the whole OS for years, and who laterdelay the fix by discussing for month about "is it a bug or is it not?" should be removed from development. they surely fall into at least one of the mentioned categories.

sry to be so clear about that, but thats how professional development works, and it's not even rude to say that. its just reality in 99% of every successful project.
