Because: a) they are third-party repositories, not used in Ubuntu and not supported officially. b) they can and probably will create problems while upgrading. c) people usually report the problems of the third-party repositories and connect it to Ubuntu packages and forget to mention that they even use third-party software. This can be really confusing for the developers and the bug squad. However, I'm just providing my opinion about this, I'm not an official representative - Ubuntu might has a different stand on this :) -- cannot proceed through dist-upgrade if using unsigned PPA packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218086 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
