[Bug 263555] Re: [intrepid] 2.6.27 e1000e driver places Intel ICH8 and ICH9 gigE chipsets at risk

[Thomas McKay]

Why do i not feel the warnings are enough?

for one, because users who download VIA bittorrent will never see those
warnings, and like somebody above noted, not all testers know for
certain the hardware they are running. Simply saying "if your computer
breaks, tough luck, we warned you" will not garner any respect among
linux users. The alpha testers are doing canonical a great service, and
taking that for granted would be a shame.

I'm not saying it's a democracy, i am just warning of the consequences
of ignoring this issue and bricking people's computers.
