Not all of us are comfortable running the latest devel release on our own
computers (bare metal) because it would interfere with other things we need.
It's why some of us use VMs for testing.

2. This doesn't mean the user is an 'idiot' or being abusive. That's

In regards to your question about that specific bug and update request though,
this is where looking into the issues and package version history on Launchpad

If you check Xenial on that specified package, it's already 1.1.0.

Actually,
Private Bugs in the Ubuntu packages namespace I believe are visible to Bug
Controllers under certain circumstances (for example crash bugs). Triage of
those involves removing the data that could contain private information and
then marking the bug as "Public", and there are times (in rare cases
they don't have the task, you're right.

Actually a good portion of "End of Life" bugs are typically cleaned up on an
automated process, last I checked. I believe there's an automatic script that
runs for some of the packages by people on the Security team and other teams,

Are you sure of this? There is Lubuntu (LXDE) which might work on a system
