[Bug 431091] Re: libstdc++5 removal breaks non-ubuntu applications

[Erik Trimble]

RarSa,

Go read the posts above.  This isn't just about closed-source apps.  (my
example being a modestly old version of Firefox2 that I need to run).

This bug is indicative of a process that doesn't understand it's
userbase, makes arbitrary decisions, and then, faced with data that
they're original actions weren't the correct ones, refuses to
reconsider.  In the end, it's about institutional arrogance.


By the way, we're not making any demands for new features or the like. We're asking that something that used to work just fine not get broken.  And gratuitously broken - no notice, no explanation, and the maintainers actually had to *work* to break this issue.  It's completely baffling.
