Comment 52 for bug 1713313

Speaking as a member of the Ubuntu Community Council, I'm going to have to ask that we dial down the tone here. As you know, the Code of Conduct (https://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/conduct) means that we should act with respect and consideration, act collaboratively and work towards consensus and clarity. That's sadly not what I'm seeing in this discussion and we need to put an end to it.

I will also comment that if anyone sees a violation of this, the appropriate action is not to escalate the language, but to take it down a notch. If you don't feel like you can do that, that's what the Community Council is for. Discussing someone's personal history publicly not to mention speculating about someone's medical conditions, however appropriate it is in regards to a violation of the CoC, is not in any way respectful or considerate.

That said, let's keep any further discussion about people directed towards <email address hidden> and let's keep the bug report for talking about the actual software.

Speaking of the bug, some things to point out:

 1. I note that this is a known issue in the 17.10 release (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtfulAardvark/ReleaseNotes#Desktop) with a note suggesting that Fedora is the upstream. That said, if the problem is an issue of upstream Wayland security policy, then, this is a bug report that should be filed upstream. In other words, it is not an Ubuntu problem.
 2. If the issue is how Ubuntu deals with this, there are currently several documented workaround to fixing the problem as above, and it's clear that other work is being done (PolicyKit, admin URIs, etc.) to try to solve this problem once and for all.

Thank you all.
