Then let me define the basic of Free software for you. Free Software is all about freedom and everybody is free to scratch their own back and make the code open source so that everyone can download and reuse it. Ubuntu is doing exactly that. What Ubuntu is not doing, is spoonfeeding every project the fixes which Ubuntu community make. And as Sandip said it`s more than infrastructure and resource problem , Rather than intentionally not doing it , or in your terms *being evil* Anybody who thinks that it`s Easy to maintain all fixes in Upstream is totally free taking a fork of Ubuntu and start maintaining all updates and fixes in upstream , Will love to know how it goes if somebody do that -- Thanks and Regards Gaurav Mishra Linux User #348873 http://gauravmishra.info/blog "When i can run , i will run , When i can walk , i will walk, When i can crawl , i will crawl.
