Hi,

I would like to request a Micro Release Exception for the Squid
package in Ubuntu Jammy and Focal. I put together a wiki page
describing everything I judged pertinent to the MRE here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SquidUpdates

As described in the wiki page above, we recently confirmed with the
upstream project that the package is fit for MREs at
http://lists.squid-cache.org/pipermail/squid-users/2023-January/025586.html

While Squid 4 is no longer listed as stable in the upstream project, we
can still benefit from this MRE for focal to make sure we ship the
latest 4.x release available.

It may also be worth mentioning that the following bugs/discussions led
us to push this MRE request forward:

- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/squid/+bug/1975399
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jammy/+source/squid/+bug/1989380
- https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2022-June/009293.html

Thank you in advance for considering this request, and please let me
know if you need more information.
