Yes. I can understand what you are saying. I am looking at the overall effort here. Yes, it probably should have been tested better or reviewed or whatever. And I have been in those situations where I have cursed linux. The average user is going to have serious problems and wonder why did they think they could use linux instead of Windows. Let's face it, Windows is pretty idiot proof.
I am looking at the positive here: The dev community rallied and pushed out an update fast. Clearly there is now a triage period for people that are now debating installing Windows again. I looked at the membership and it only really allows people that have had 6 months of contributions. I apologize but I have a career, family and other engagements. I just physically don't have time to contribute and I question what I could contribute. Good coding takes time. But I could test or log into the test system and run what I run. You need multiple people from all disciplines to contribute to a UAT/QA environment. I guess I won't thank Canonical, but I sincerely want to thank the devs that fixed this problem.
