If we don't pull the images (we should, but I won't comment since it's already being discussed), it might be a good idea to at least make the words "permanently inoperable" on the Alpha 6 testing page in big, bold letters so users have less of a chance to skim over that part.
Think about it: How many times do we read warning labels on the stuff we eat? My point exactly. Having a "WARNING" section on a testing page where people are already expecting things not to work perfectly might not be an accurate indicator of exactly how grave this problem really is. I think we should do everything in our power to at least let users know what they're dealing with here. Somehow, we've managed to produce a stick of dynamite with a lit fuse. A lot of people are expecting testing images to be imperfect and may skip right over the warning section because they already know the typical "This is just alpha software, hopefully nothing major will happen" lecture that warning sections typically give them. Making "permanently inoperable" in bold letters will make it much more eye-catching than it is now. -- [intrepid] 2.6.27 e1000e driver places Intel ICH8 and ICH9 gigE chipsets at risk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
