Comment 4 for bug 119659

I am trying to get a life (I am getting older and I don't want to switch
distros like a mad man just because they're buggier than all the other
operating systems), and I am pissed off by the inability of the (K)Ubuntu
team to understand what QA is -- because only Mandriva is buggier than
(K)Ubuntu!

I do have. Having
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/66637, i.e. the
swap's UUID permanently changing, I *had* to add the swap in fstab as
/dev/sdb3, then as /dev/hdb3, then as /dev/sdb3, then as /dev/hdb3, etc.

Then, my CD-RW permanently changes from /dev/hdd to /dev/sdb, then back to
/dev/hdd, then again /dev/sdb, etc.

HOW IS IT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND THAT DURING THE LIFETIME OF A POINT RELEASE
(7.04), THE F--ING DEVICE NAMES SHOULD NOT F--ING CHANGE TWICE A WEEK,
DEPENDING ON THE LATEST KERNEL UPDATE?

Or I can fucking stop using this f-- buggy and unstable and undermanaged
distro!

If Ubuntu and Fedora have adopted buggy kernels, it is their decision, and
they have to assume it, not to switch back and forth all the time!

No, this is not project management.
