Comment 99 for bug 579300

@yota, I'm not sure what you believe I ignored, but I don't have the time/priority to answer all of you thoroughly.
So for the compile-but-blacklist option, if that was what you thought I ignored, here's my personal opinion:
 Maverick: doing configuration changes for the Maverick kernel is way too late, so no use discussing it.
 Natty: Out of the applications listed here so far that Ubuntu ships, AFAIK tvtime and mythtv already have fixes (gnomeradio as well? I'm not sure), so I'm very hopeful that we'll have a better situation for Natty for the last few applications still requiring the kernel-space emulation. Since I don't care about Quake and other stuff we don't ship, I think it's unnecessary to enable compile-but-blacklist.

@Mike, I have assisted in making the fixed tvtime available so yes, I'm prepared to do some of the work.
