Comment 241 for bug 477169

This looks like an imaginative adaptation of the code underlying the
GRUB Menu. I surely will save it.

You allude to a grave problem, however, the time it took to find the
solution. Distributive responsibility for writing patches is the
egalitarian approach, but we (Gomer) end-users have no basis for
authenticating proposals, except long exposure to those who propose.
Are they not free to come or go, those who propose?

I think Ubuntu needs a central committee. I think with a central
committee there would not have been need of this fix in the first place.
