The arrogance is the other way around. Ubuntu universe is community maintained by volunteers. None appear to be interested in maintaining gcc 3.3. We volunteer to make Ubuntu better and our collective judgment is that gcc 3.3 is too old to be maintainable.
Personally, I find the demanding tone from some in this bug very offputting. Ubuntu is culturally a do-acracy. People who do stuff decide about it. Nothing prevents people who want this back in the archive from getting involved in Ubuntu development and getting it back. The best response to this concern so far is the person that put it in a PPA. Arguing in this bug is extremely unlikely to change things. -- libstdc++5 removal breaks non-ubuntu applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431091 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 -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
