I believe your VirtualBox problem is because the VirtualBox guest
drivers didn't support Xorg 1.13 until version 4.2.2 which was released
after Ubuntu 12.10 was released. Also, Unity 2D has been dropped since
nobody stepped up to keep it working and Canonical is focusing on Unity.

I do care about this bug as shown by the many hours of work I put into
backporting TexLive 2012 to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and the time I've taken to
explain. But that doesn't change the fact that this wishlist bug is
*impossible* to fix.

I am annoyed specifically because you seemed to not care about why we
have the policies we have. I mean you'd be pretty upset if the Ubuntu
developers brought the fun of Xorg 1.13 and dropping Unity 2D to Ubuntu
12.04 LTS, right? Trying to bring Tex Live 2012 to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS has
a similar risk (although possibly not quite as severe).

Anyway, here's the policy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
