I know everybody is concentrating on backports at the moment but it is 
really important that this bug is fixed now. Backports could easily 
provide further scenarios where this bug could strike, we already 
discovered during ISO testing that it also affects upgrades.

Backports will be very difficult for QA to manage without this being 
fixed first. It has been difficult for QA to try and workaround this bug 
for so long, the main reason it has been left is that we have been 
mostly successful so far.

We have a few new members in the QA team now who we are beginning to 
mentor until they find their feet. It seems a bit silly to have to 
create a wiki page explaining the need to work around a year old bug.

Please please please can we fix this.

Many thanks!
Claire
