In the title I mean SRU not SRA.
For the next 3 years Ubuntu 10.04 LTS will only be able to support the SHA1 cipher. Thats 3 long years of using a broken and useless cipher. What are the options for those who require an LTS, there are no options. Upgrading to a non-LTS release defeats the purpose of using an LTS. I am very aware that hell would freeze over before this SRU request would be accepted. It's too bad that the SHA1 patch came too late for 10.04. I don't how easy an attack against SHA1 would be, would it be acceptable to wait 3 years if attacks against SHA1 are still hard enough as to not worry about it?
If SHA1 attacks are trivial, then would Ubuntu please consider an SRU.
