For the development release, it adds extra work to whoever does merges in the future, and introduces the risk of an accidental regression if not everything through to upstream has updated before Ubuntu. But if you get the change in Debian, then Ubuntu will in time merge it without any further ado. To update stable releases, "Even the simplest of changes can cause unexpected regressions due to lurking problems". See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates I'm reluctant to push for this unless a clear consensus is reached, somebody points out exactly what we've done in the past, or an experienced Ubuntu developer tells me otherwise. I think the best place to seek consensus on this is the ubuntu-server mailing list. If others agree that the change is worth it, then, as you say, it's trivial to actually do and I'd be happy to see it through. Otherwise, this will get fixed in time as the change filters through from upstream. This seems to me to be the path of least resistance, especially because I don't think changing it earlier will result in any real practical benefit. Anyone who cares enough is presumably already running configuration management and can just change the conffile anyway. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bind9 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1090593 Title: D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET changing January 3rd 2013 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/1090593/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
