[Bug 1798955] Re: Sync Request: gnome-subtitles-1.4.1 from Debian testing to Ubuntu bionic and xenial

[Pedro Castro]

Hi Sebastien. Thanks for your help.

Bionic was the first Ubuntu LTS version not to include gnome-subtitles. While I'm not sure exactly why this happened, but I assume it was likely because it hadn't been updated to GTK 3 at the time Bionic was released. My rational for it to be included in Bionic is:
- Because Bionic is the current Ubuntu LTS version, so it will have a long timespan
- To make sure users of gnome-subtitles that are using this Ubuntu version are able to use it, as they would with other Ubuntu versions.

Concerning the StableReleaseUpdates document, I would say the rational relates to the following points:
Other Safe Cases: (...) high potential for improving the user experience, particularly for Long Term Support releases:
- Bugs which do not fit under above categories, but (...) (2) affect an application rather than critical infrastructure packages (like X.org or the kernel).
- For Long Term Support releases we sometimes want to introduce new features. They must not change the behaviour on existing installations (e. g. entirely new packages are usually fine).
