Distribution quotes of the week

We try to not deliberately release a package with a vulnerability. It seems people don’t appreciate vulnerabilities in the same way they like other features. Who’d a thought?

But, we as creators of Kubuntu however should not support selfish life-support patching for the software we use to build our product on. It does not benefit anyone to drag along broken unreliable software. Giving it the boot on the other hand does not only free up resources better spent elsewhere, it also makes people moan and whine about this super important application that is now gone and this makes it all the more likely that someone steps up and does what needs to be done to make it a super awesome piece of software again.
