[03:16] <game2> I'm in disagreement with penalvch on bug 764003.  Can someone please clarify policy?
[03:16] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 764003 in linux "vodafone k3805-z requires "ifconfig usb0 -arp" prior to connecting to achieve connectivity" [Low,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/764003
[03:19] <game2> Why can only the original reporter be part of triage, when others have the same problem?

[22:11] <cheako> bug 1007089
[22:11] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1007089 in linux "overlayfs alters /proc/self/exe link(s), making result a dead link." [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1007089
[22:11] <cheako> Prevents the application or any dependencies from functioning correctly at all.  A match, High Importance.
[22:11] <cheako> Renders essential features or functionality of the application or dependencies broken or ineffective.  Second match for High.
[22:12] <cheako> Impacts accessibility of a core application.  Possible match, High.
[22:12] <cheako> Severely affects applications beyond the package responsible for the root cause. one match for Critical.  This was basically why I was saying the bug needed an importance bump.
[22:12] <cheako> Consequently there are zero matches that would suggest the Importance on this bug is correctly set at Medium...  There was at one time, but that has since changed.
[22:13] <maxb> It is, however, conceivable that some might deem overlayfs to equate to a "non-core application"
[22:22] <cheako> maxb: It still matches for Critical.  Plus it "Impacts accessibility of a core application."  I consider dpkg/start-stop-daemon to be core.
[22:24] <cheako> Yeah, it's status as a non-core kernel module is irrelevant(as far as I can tell).  One part that might be in question is whether overlayfs' any dependencies matches for the applications it's effecting.
[22:26] <cheako> I'm not even sure if that means that overlayfs needs to depend on or if it needs to be a depende.  The question about alternatives, in this case filesystems, would nullify these...  I say that's on purpose and alternative solutions are irrelevent, it's typically the case the some one chooses to use X because it does what they need.
