@JavaJake >What more can they do? Well, they could:
a) Pull the images immediately, instead of entering a discussion just how import the hardware of those who volunteer to test really is. b) Put the warning on planet-ubuntu, instead of entering a discussion just how import the hardware of those who volunteer to test really is. c) Put out a security bulletin, instead of entering a discussion just how import the hardware of those who volunteer to test really is. d) Shout it at on IRC, instead of entering a discussion just how import the hardware of those who volunteer to test really is. e) Upload a blacklist-fix immediately, instead of entering a discussion just how import the hardware of those who volunteer to test really is. YES THESE THINGS CAN HAPPEN. But like with a security flaw; it's all about HOW FAST and IF YOU CARE they respond. The first things that people will read about this bug, after it destroyed their hardware is that they shouldn't complain: it's alpha software .. WHAT KIND OF POLICY IS THIS? I mean, the comment asking for suggestions of the text yesterday .. seems to indicate that nobody was in a hurry .. Colin .. a question for you... between the time you asked for suggestions of the possible warning text and the time that an actual warning test was put on the release notes .. ..how many people have downloaded? You have the information .. in the very best case only 10% or something will be affected. Might be an interesting number to consider. -- [intrepid] 2.6.27 e1000e driver places Intel ICH8 and ICH9 gigE chipsets at risk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
