Comment 22 for bug 1204530

First of all thanks for checking the fix. and yes so far it is only released for Xenial (16.04).

Given the time it was open and the amount of feedback we have got I assumed it wouldn't be worth an SRU - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates.

I'm still not sure if it is worth an SRU given the diminished adoption of yp* in the field.
However, I'm not sure this bug would qualify under that policy, although I am not on the SRU team and cannot make that decision.

I think it might be for trusty given the remaining 3 years of support.
I don't tihnk it has chances for wily.
If this is very important to you and upgrading to the upcoming LTS is no option for you do you think you could follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure for the paperwork.
Most of that is already done (for Xenial) in the bug, so I'd just ask you to discuss it with the SRU team to buy into your need.

And if the SRU team in general agrees I could prepare the upload for the final review by the SRU Team.
