[Bug 441835] Re: Clicking on floppy gives "no device media found"

[FGTR4738]

We've been following this bug just about since it was first reported.
We are still using 9.10 with a workaround to support our floppy drivers.
We have cameras that were about $1k each when new, still in use, but use
a floppy drive, so it's not cost effective for us to stop using floppy
drives.  Hence, we are still at 9.10.

It appears to us that probably Ubuntu has no intention to support floppy
drives.  If so, it seems to us this should be clearly stated by Ubuntu.
Right now, many are in the dark on this thinking this will eventually be
fixed.  If we knew it was definitely not going to be fixed it would make
it easier to plan for the future.

In our opinion not fixing it because of a 1/2 days labor for a fix is
not good, but it would be nice to have a solid direction from Ubuntu on
this.

Thanks
