Count me in support for sjr here. It's a thankless task to maintain
software--every fix like this has to be weighed in priority against all
the other bugs people are complaining about, and it seems like the
bugmail never stops--and I know the temptation to respond tersely. On
the other side, I'd also succumbed to the temptation to escalate to
Slashdot when a bug I care about doesn't seem to be getting enough
attention. The escalation was in questionable taste in this case: like
it or not, the root user in Unix does have the authority to destroy the
filesystem i he makes an accident. Be careful when you're root!
I'm glad the immediate bug was fixed--and so quickly!--and I hope that
he wishlist bugs eventually get their attention, too -- both upstart
growing the ability to check for mandatory arguments, and also for
launchpad to distinguish reclassified bugs without confusing unfamiliar
readers by marking them Invalid.
