Wow! You are the second person in the Ubuntu community recommending this. I can now only infer that many of you folks have not yet grasped the meaning of LTS and Ubuntu's commitment to support it? Asking users to upgrade at the drop of a hat and not considering what is broken in a stable release is one big mistake that will hit your movements credibility badly. A user who downloads a release 6 months old and one step behind the current one, does so for very good reasons - stability and absence of minor irritants that would have been fixed with over a period. Instead in your eagerness for one-upmanship and to have the last word, you have forgotten your responsibility and closed the bug without acknowledging the real issue > > Instead of trying to point out the flaws of distributions and their > documentation, ... > CRs are for pointing out flaws in a product :). Agreed perhaps in a better way than I originally posted, but nonetheless... The issue reported here is not one hard to debug bug that slipped through the cracks. This is a simple matter of content management on your systems - the URL for a critical driver repository is broken that too for an older release considered stable. It may be a small error for you to fix, but for a user staying up till 2am to finish off an install and move on - its a big deal when even an older stable release is so fundamentally broken.
