    Well fuck Canonical.

    But second, if this explicit sync fixes flickering… Then it’s a Bugfix thus a minor patch, no?

    So to iterate on point 1: fuck Canonical.

      Seems like a bit of an overreaction. From what I can see, it’s mostly that Ubuntu don’t seem confident enough to ship this without more rigorous testing (i.e. they think it might introduce other/more severe bugs), so they want resume doing that testing before shipping it. Doesn’t really seem harmful to anyone that didn’t explicitly choose to use Ubuntu.

      I don’t think, it really matters whether it fixes a bug. This is about how many code changes it makes and therefore how many new bugs, it potentially introduces.

      This explicit sync thingamabob was definitely a bigger code change.

      I do find it weird that Ubuntu terminates this exception, seemingly from one disagreement, but hard to say what went on behind the scenes beforehand. And as the other guy pointed out, I don’t think the impact of this decision is that big, so I’m not sure, it deserves infinite scrutiny…
