Oh, I understand.

I guess I'm just a little disappointed by the fact that there hasn't been any "official" response to this.

Supposedly 30 different people and the so-called "Ubuntu Security Team" have been notified of this bug. And not one single one of these people has said boo about it.

Now I myself was having problems related to SSL breaking on me.

But apparently the security of my bank accounts, credit card accounts, etc., isn't terribly important to anybody since my bug didn't rate an "official" response either.

Frankly, I've pretty much lost faith in this whole bug process. That is why I have personally decided to throw in my lot with Ubuntuzilla.

Just check out this thread I posted over on the Ubuntuzilla forum.

I had problems with my Ubuntuzilla-installed Seamonkey 1.1.14, and within a matter of days, Ubuntuzilla's developer, nanotube, responded with an updated package that completely fixed the problem I was having with my Seamonkey plugins.

And he wasn't even responding to a security issue, he was responding to a plugin issue.

But I waited for two months for my SSL-related bug to get fixed, and I couldn't even get an "official" response.

That's why I was saying to people, in the post above, that they shouldn't leave their internet security in other peoples hands, because, well <cue the crickets around here>
