Hello, I was asked to take a look at this bug.

In Ubuntu, we have a Stable Release Update process which is in place to ensure a smooth update process for our users: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

Part of this process involves ensuring that only bugfixes and patches suitable for stable releases are accepted. The diff between 2.1.3 and 2.2.0 is quite large, and I am unsure whether including a .0 release is suitable for an SRU. That being said, I am personally willing to drive this through to completion if:
 1. I get confirmation that 2.2.0 and not 2.1.7 is what should be backported.
 2. The problems are large enough that it cannot be solved by patching 2.1.3.
 3. Any other changes involved are low-impact and will not cause behavioral regressions compared to 2.1.3 for the end user.

Additionally, this bug description needs to be modified to follow the template in the wiki page linked above, which gives proper justification for such an update. Please do read through the wiki page to get an idea of what they're looking for.

Note: while I am an Ubuntu Core Developer, I am not a member of the SRU Team, and I have no final say on whether this is accepted. I have subscribed the SRU Team in case someone wants to give their feedback.

Thank you for reporting the bug, and I apologize for the delay. I hope we can drive this through to completion.
