You are kidding right? Please tell me you are kidding.

I gotta say, it gets pretty tiring to continually be upgrading Ubuntu
releases only to find a whole bag of problems that will be "fixed in the
next release".

Between this issue the bag of issues that upstart/mountall have brought
to Lucid, what are people who only upgrade through LTS releases supposed
to do? Are we supposed to use our hacks (like always booting with
init=/bin/bash so that we can manually open a VT before we
exec /sbin/init and then use the VT to prod mountall/upstart along into
a full runtime boot) for the next two years with hope that the next LTS
release is better?

Sorry to bitch, but it seems I get more and more frustrated with the
quality of Ubuntu releases with every new one that comes along. Having
to manually (as in sit down at the console of) prod half a dozen
machines through booting is just the worst so far.

I can't imagine what people with a rack or data-centre full of them do.
