--- Comment #65 from Jaroslaw Zachwieja
Well - altering glibc in this way is -potentially- rather risky; as a compromise - I'd suggest that we let this shake out in 11.1 for a while before we consider back-porting to 11.0. If we break everyone's glibc there will be more problems than thunderbird not working ;-)
Your suggestion is not really acceptable. Reasons: 1) It's not only thunderbird that is affected. High profile applications -- OpenOffice.org among others. Entire ldap based authentication is affected here. 2) Developers seem to live with N+1 version, where as actual users live in the N-1...N space. I do appreciate that N-1 and N bugs are so passée, but postponing the fix is just... cruel :) 3) Petr says in Comment #59 that he's treating this problem as high priority. I would rather let him work in peace on it and release the fix as soon as it's ready and not leave it for "next release". But that's just my point of view.
