This isnt true. The backports for gutsy were done by MOTU contributors (e.g. jdong). The only reason taht stopped was that nobody uses gutsy who used that. Hence the promise to provide security support until jaunty is released. > > Also, I'm curious: Do you estimate it likely that the user base will > have backports enabled?

But I am almost certain that all that seriously use 3.1 beta now, will go for jaunty at one point or the other. - Alexander -- FFe - firefox 3.1 and xulrunner 1.9.1 for intrepid/universe https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274187 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
