The only bug is that the checkbox is unchecked by default, while it should be checked by default. Looks to me like that's very easy to fix. I couldn't find any other bugs. This little bug just needs to be fixed, so this option can be included in the final release of Ubuntu 10.04.

If Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't have the feature to disable the face browser, I'm not going to upgrade. Showing a list of available logon names is way too insecure.

In my opinion that's not an option for corporate users. An operating system just has to have this functionality by default. There shouldn't be any need to use any third party applications, only to disable some insecure feature.

Importance of bugs on Launchpad is a fail. After all those years this bug is still at the wishlist:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/11334
That bug really doesn't belong on the wishlist. That's a bug which had to be addressed years ago.
