I know adding software to a physically shipped CD is quite impossible, and that its politically hard/impossible to add something to the iso (but not technically impossible). As a last solution updates can be released, as several of those is - for every release, But to make that happen it has to qualify as a bug, which I think it does. Now I do not have any powers here what so ever, except I can nag and comment till my fingers bleed. :) I guess it's a lost case, but for next Ubuntu I will start testing isos and comment what I believe is bugs earlier.

Now lets say someone agreed with me that this is a bug, then who could decide to put out the update? Maybe its politically easier to make the VPN-Connections choice go away (as an update, not for the CD, since that's "harder")?

I'm sorry for making all this fuzz, but I had a plan about recommending Ubuntu for my users with Intrepid, with the argument that it just works. Now I will not, because it does not just work :(

I guess I could remaster an iso for my users, or they could just stick with Windows.
