Comment 27 for bug 1992026

I have to agree with Thomas above. Sadly, I'm pretty sure I do know who is responsible for the heavy-handed scare-tactic messaging lately that is extremely off-putting to the community, and this person needs to start making sure such messaging at the very least gets approval from the Community Team prior to commit, because it's clear this person lacks tact in their messaging and has lost sight of what it means to be truly "Ubuntu" in the sense of the word. In fact, I'd almost consider it to a Code of Conduct violation in that it has attempted manipulate and coerce people into doing something they wouldn't otherwise do.

I understand this is targeted at enterprise, but individuals in the community are getting scared that their systems are now insecure when, in reality, they're not. This advertisement looks like a typical "packages being held back" response when it's not, and that's scaring people that something is wrong with their system and that they need to pay to fix it. That is heavy-handed and a scare tactic, and that is something that I cannot say "I am who I am because of who we all are". It is not in the giving spirit or philosophy of "Ubuntu".
