Comment 24 for bug 248055

Thanks for all the insights Cody and Hew. Marking it as Won't Fix means it's broken and will not be fixed, right? Will backports be distributed over the software update mechanism as well?

From the page linked by Cody:

"Stable release updates will, in general, only be issued in order to fix high-impact bugs. Examples of such bugs include:

    * Bugs which may, under realistic circumstances, directly cause a security vulnerability. These are done by the security team and are documented at SecurityUpdateProcedures.
    * Bugs which represent severe regressions from the previous release of Ubuntu. This includes packages which are totally unusable, like being uninstallable or crashing on startup."

From a simple user point of view, gtk-gnutella is totally unusable if we consider the network connection establishing part of gtk-gnutella as part of its startup procedure. It isn't a regression from the previous version per se, it's worse.

I kindly ask you to reconsider.
