We missed you in the meeting. Please note I do not speak for the release
team. However, at this point, any change is likely to need good reason
and undergo a lot of scrutiny. They don't want to introduce any
regressions, etc. With that said, this seems to me to be a matter of
getting a update pushed to the archive. I don't see it as having to be
on any particular deadline (other than asap). This should be pushed
through as an SRU. Thoughts?

As you correctly state, time is running out.

I'm just checking a bunch of stuff and preparing for Ubuntu and
Xubuntu 12.04.1 testing next week. I know that doesn't involve
Lubuntu but I have a few pet bugs that I hope to address so I
updated my Lubuntu Quantal on two machines and checked out abiword
very closely.
On both machines I experience the problems explained in comment
#27 of this bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/1019621
Scrolling doesn't work properly, sometimes the screen flashes,
trying to read some old abiword docs results in large gray or
black "boxes" where there should just be blank page. Basically
abiword is a total mess :^(
Unless msevior has changed his mind I'd remind everyone that he
said, "As maintainer of abiword I urge you to switch to
abiword-2.8.6. Debian testing has moved on to 2.9.3 which is a
considerable improvement of 2.9.2 but it still contains many bugs."
So what should we do? I think our time to decide is very limited
with a feature freeze coming on August 23rd. I doubt we could
change versions of abiword after that :^(
Releasing a buggy application twice in a row is kind of a bad
advertisement regarding stability so let's please discuss this.
Lance
