Comment 49 for bug 524281

If somebody has a fix, it needs to be sent upstream to be vetted and committed anyway. It's good to do quality control before distributing an update to everyone that only some people will need.

Also, it isn't a matter of "upstream will get to it eventually". There is already a patch. I plan to set up a PPA with the patch soon, so people can easily try it out. I'm not sure if this will get backported to stable, since it's a change to how the scheduler works. Somebody will have to inquire upstream.
