Ahh, yes. This sounds very good.

The previous comment, to which I was replying gave an impression that
nothing more was going to be done (i.e. like perhaps it was too close to
freeze to make any more changes) and Jaunty would just release "as is".

If the decision was made to simply disable it if it cannot be fixed,
then yes, this is very good. Doing otherwise, again, IMHO, would
further besmirch the reputation of Ubuntu's releases[1].

[1] As if Intrepid didn't do enough besmirching of its own. I know
people who are actively searching for alternate distros because of
Interepid's bugginess. I personally have not upgraded any of my
friends/family to Intrepid because of same said buginess. The jury is
still out on Jaunty for me, but including evolution 2.26 (technically
anything > 2.22) is not helping Jaunty's case.
