“”The Ubuntu kernel contains all kind of closed-source
and other crap to no limits, but backporting a tiny patch that is
blessed and merged upstream and in Fedora for ages, that they won’t
do. Gah.”“Poettering went on to say patches Ubuntu does include are an
“insult” and “disappointing”.“The moral of Lennart’s PulseAudio story is “and I’ll get all
the complaints. Thanks!”“To that end I can only express sympathy for Lennart and his
visionary work.“There’s no doubt PulseAudio has its merits, but if the
downstream distributions are shipping it (or anything else) without
enough testing and integration work then it immediately defeats the
purpose of shipping new software.”
