At this point, just the failure to patch this single vulnerability is enough to make me write Ubuntu off as a viable distribution. Volunteer-run distros can fix this, why not a well-resourced company? It's not as if they haven't had the time to fix it, or that porting the fix to their current kernels would be particularly difficult.

This is the final nail in the coffin. I already order my new vservers with debian. I'll keep the existing ones on ubuntu for now, but will not consider ubuntu for anything server side in the future. My reasoning was "Debian is volunteers, they probably won't release fixes as fast as a commercial entity" - obviously the reasoning is backwards.

But I also must say, I am not giving a single dollar to ubuntu nor did I ever do so, so it is also perfectly valid for Ubuntu to not give a damn about me.
