Forgive me if I don't understand the logic, but will it at least be backported to Feisty after the upcoming release? Not that it would seem a devastating bug, but the potential impact surface is huge. Any existing 2.4 application that uses sys.excepthook() to log and continue execution will now fail. That means that unlucky folk who upgrade from Edgy to Feisty with such applications (home-grown, third-party, or ubuntu-provided) will take a step backwards in usability. I don't know what is involved in the fix for this, and I understand that it is close to release-time and that making changes right now is restricted to earth-shattering bugs. However, skipping a bug with such wide-reaching implications for an entire distro-cycle would make Ubuntu look rinky-dink. Not that I'm unappreciative. I thank you and everyone for your time work hard work.
