Well, I wouldn't count on random claims on issues under control unless I
see a associated bug report. That's a good way to lose track of problems.
Maybe, but my concerns (getting to play with virtualisation) are
different from yours. For my needs, a "random claim" describing observed
behaviour is a sufficient justification for doing something different.
I'd had to resort to a recovery disk to get a working system, the
imperative was to avoid a recurrence of that condition.
