I looked at the bug filed with Gnome and found out this information:

"gnome-vfs is being replaced with gio.  This should be fixed with the
patch"

"Patch applied on 3/16/09 to version 2.27.1."

says developer Dennis Cranston.

I'm just wondering if it is policy to constantly upgrade Ubuntu to fix
problems such as this one or if it's policy to fix the problems in the
current or targeted release that this bug is filed under.

I asked because this bug effects all versions of Ubuntu, from 4.10 to
9.04, but is fixed in 9.10 (which hasn't been and will not be released
until October 2009) only. Currently 8.04, 8.10, 9.04 are supported (as
6.06's desktop support was just dropped), meaning this fix has been
released in future versions of Ubuntu, but not past or present.

Just wondering what the mandate is on that. If my tone sounds harsh, I
apologize profusely; I just wanted to know Ubuntu's policy, a possibly a
link to it.
