[Bug 653619] Re: Please back port Evolution 2.32 to lucid LTS and maverick

[Krzysztof Klimonda]

To all people who are commenting on this issue, please try to understand
that Backports project is not ran by Canonical, but by community, on the
volunteer basis. Your negative comments are simply misplaced - we can do
only that much given the time and resources on our hands. It is simply
not feasible for us to prepare and test backports of all those packages
before pushing them to each and every backports user out there,
especially given that it's a one way trip - you can't go back to 2.28
easily. As the update is needed only by a small number of users, PPA is
a much better choice to deliver it. It is not perfect, but at this time
it is the best choice we have.

Also, the decision to stay with 2.28 for 10.04 wasn't easy but it has
been based on technical merits - it wasn't a random decision as has been
suggested in one of earlier comments.
