We will not backport 335 changed files to precise-updates. Not knowing
what changes are in there introduces a significant chance of regression
for existing open-iscsi users who are not affected by this bug. I'm
certain that the SRU team would find this an entirely unacceptable risk.
It defeats the whole point of having a stable release, and I understand
that the development release is already fixed (and thus so will the next
LTS).

Other routes are available, such as the backports repository, but
backporting such churn and making it available to users automatically is
not an option due to the risk of regression. Only a minimal patch is
acceptable for an automatic update. I hope you understand this
reasoning.

This bug remains open for Precise. Volunteers to drive any of these
options are welcome.
