I still don't see the sense in hiding a feature because it's buggy. How else should we expect it to get fixed? How about supporting the failure condition better? Add a dialog with instructions/warnings? At the very least the option should be able to be added back with a setting an adventurous user can set. -Kees -- Kees Cook -- technical-board mailing list technical-board@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/technical-board
