I find those commens particularly construtive in this context.  This bug
was implemented with little thought to the fact that it opens a major
security hole in the os and prevents it from being used in a large
number of corporations (esentially any corporation with a decent
security policy).

The severity of the action has never been acknowledged by the powers
that be.  The last two major versions of Ubutnu have seen a number of
major issues implemented on a whim that seem to be ignored completly.

Between this and a few other "features" like it I've been forced to
abandon Ubuntu as an os which is really sad because it had so much
promise before karmic.

Marking a security vulnerablilty as "Medium" and "Won't Fix" is
laughable at best and takes Ubuntu completly out of contention as a
corporate OS.
