Or people could stop using a broken OS. Yeah, I’m dreaming.
But I’m not holding back the Windows and Mac binaries (which 85% of our users use) for the %7% of our users who are on Ubuntu.

Or to phrase this differently. I would never use Ubuntu on a client. I know we have some developers who do. If those have patches that are conditionally compiled for Ubuntu (based on the #define UBUNTU_IS_CRAP or something reasonable like that) and that fix the issue, I’ll be happy to consider them for 4.4. Otherwise this will go into the “Known bugs” section.
