The first comment was not called for. I sent an email to the list 36 hours ago asking for clarification if feedback was wanted intrepid or was feedback for hardy welcome and as of yet no replies in my email. Additionally, testing in intrepid would be feasible if: 1. Intrepid ran in virtualbox without kernel panics. 2. You could have Intrepid on another machine and VNC in, but this is not the case due to a gnome-session issue that as of a few days ago was still waiting the fixed package to be pushed. <snip> > > The app does not meet the grade to be included in any Ubuntu release at > > this time.
