Comment 56 for bug 210303

@TWO

A few things to help you understand better:

* There was some official movement and at least 2 people told officials who did nothing
* 5 months is beyond patience especially when a fix was available months ago and simply needed to be committed. Response times by projects such as Mozilla's Firefox are usually days or weeks not months for example
* No we are not all capable. Kubuntu is for end users as well. Ubuntu uses the term 'Linux for human beings'. Most of the other media players don't support smb and are not KDE based, but the point here is that newbies/non-technical people/windows users don't know how to install software nor will think they should have to, and they are right!
* There is a fix, we are just having problems with someone committing it despite how many people have this authority on this thread
* As you can see people are not giving up, nor walking away, instead they are complaining because of lack of action. This is normal human behaviour and pressuring is one way to get movement in this world.
