This leaves such a bad taste in my mouth. If you fucking found 44 CVEs with some relatively amateurish ones (I'm no security engineer but even I've done that exact TOCTOU mitigation before) in such a core component of your system a month before 26.04 LTS release (or a couple months if you count from their round 1), surely the response should be "we need to delay this to 28.04 LTS to give it time to mature", not "we'll ship this thing in LTS anyway but leave out the most obviously problematic parts"?

The snap BS wasn't enough to move me since I was largely unaffected once stripping it out, but this might finally convince me to ditch.

Ubuntu has been doing careless shit like that their entire existence, it's nothing new

What do you mean that the people who use Debian Unstable as the basis of their OS would break things?

It's insane that this is going into an LTS. It's the kind of experiment I'd expect them to play with in a non-LTS and revert in LTSes until it's fully usable, like they did with Wayland being the default, which started in 2017
