Title:
Advertising in the MOTD
Status in update-motd package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
In a previous report you told us to report new bugs in ubuntu-motd,
however ubuntu-bug doesn't allow this.
The previous report was about marketing/promotion of Ubuntu in the
MOTD, however this report is to address new advertising in the MOTD.
The MOTD should be reserved for vulnerabilities and other fixes -
instead I logged in this morning to find the following:
"* Check out 6 great IDEs now available on Ubuntu. There may even be
something worthwhile there for those crazy EMACS fans ;)
- https://bit.ly/6-cool-IDEs";
Can we discuss this? This absolutely sucks because it's an advert for
a blog post that mostly has desktop IDE's and isn't even relevant for
server users *and* it's using a bit.ly link. In a previous bug
report[1] it was promised that everyone would watch what others are
merging so how did this get through??
