Ruben makes the final decisons on things no matter how much you contribute.
You could spend all that work patching something and there is NO guarantee in
if he will put it in there or not. Heck, most of us don't know where he is
most of the time. There's also people who aren't as technical as others, but
still want to use the OS because it fits into those ideals.
There seems to be more and more people making comments on this boards in how
they need to have an updated ISO with the newer kernel to properly support
their hardware and fix the Google DNS issue out of the box. If they get
ignored, it risks them abandoning the support for this project and simply
going for Ubuntu or another alternative GNU/Linux distro that has more of a
structure.
Hopefully those aren't going onto deaf ears as it has been proposed for
months now to get a newer ISO for 6. Most of us know about the "when its
done" policy and while that is fine and dandy for Trisquel 7, the existing
version needs to have some updates.
Here's another thing too: When Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) releases next month,
12.04 will get the backported kernel from 14.04 soon after. So if you are
planning on releasing this ISO soon, then go for the Saucy kernel. If you
feel that the ISO could take 3+ months, then maybe the Trust kernel is better
out of the box.
