As a personal matter I'm not too concerned about that because I have no
fear of using 12.04 Ubuntu either with Unity-2D, 'GNOME Classic (no
effects)', or 'lubuntu-core w/o recommends' which extends support to
April 2017 ............ but when that broke between Saucy alpha 1 and
alpha 2 I spent a lot of time reading changelogs and saw no indication
that support was dropped for P4M800 or P4M900. So it's a bit disturbing
to just be ignored, but being ignored by Canonical is nothing new :^(

Look how badly some of the 'ubiquity' bugs were ignored during the Saucy
dev cycle. I'll grant you one of them ended up being a 'partman' bug,
but there is no sensible reason for these well confirmed bugs to just be
ignored until the last 72 hours before release! I'll add to Phill's
"rant" with Nicholas ASAP.
