The repeated criticism from Abiword developers towards Ubuntu for
daring to ship the software you released is getting pretty annoying.
Your stable release, 2.8.6 has known bugs, is over two years old, and
is not really supported. At least with the current development
version, we have a reasonable chance of getting bugs fixed. Ubuntu is
not the only one to package Abiword 2.9.* either. Please continue
releasing bugfix updates and every one will win.
