(Get the code!)
All due respect to the "countless" developers that took 14 months to fix a critical bug affecting god knows how many Ubuntu releases but their job doesn't end with writing a patch. The patch needs to be made available to the majority of users which do not have the tech skills to apply it - either by means of a temp PPA or by means of writing PROPER instructions for compiling, upgrading and most importantly DOWNGRADING if their patch goes ka-boom. I see this very rarely happening on Launchpad so yes - people have the right to ask here what to do with this piece of code.
My 2 cents
