[Bug 693303] Re: please backport php 5.3.3/5.3.4 to lucid

[Håvard Pedersen]

zekkerj, 10.04 released with PHP 5.3.2. I think you misunderstood the
discussion.

PHP 5.3.2 was released only 1.5 month before Ubtuntu 10.04, so much for
the "thorough betatesting" the LTS releases is supposed to have. But
doing that might have been an OK decision if bugs actually were fixed
after release

However, leaving such a central server functionality full of bugs with
no backport of bugfixes for 3 years in a long term support release is
nothing short of disrespectful of the users that install this release,
expecting to be able to use it in 5 years before upgrading. I was not
planning on upgrading to 12.04, since I installed a release that was
supposed to have support until 2015.

I know I won't be deploying a single Ubuntu server any more. I can't
accept waiting 2 years for critical bugfixes that have already been
solved upstream.
