[Bug 317167] Re: Thunderbird autosave popup window shows incorrect buttons

[Matthijs ten Kate]

John, thanks for your long reply, I appreciate it. I understand the
dilemma of not wanting to introduce new bugs into an LTS.

However, I believe these kind of issues show a weakness in the whole LTS philosophy, because most code comes from external parties (in this case, Mozilla). When they say 'won't fix', it essentially means that the 'S' in LTS is becoming less valid.
Looking at it from an outsiders' perspective, I'd say "So what, it's open source, right? Canonical doesn't need Mozilla, they can fix it themselves." But in reality, this doesn't happen (perhaps for all the right reasons, but from a customer's perspective, it's just sub-optimal support).

If I'm awfully mistaken in this, please let me know. If not, perhaps
this is something that should be addressed in general.

For now, thanks again for your extensive reply.
