Security patches for universe used to be "best-effort". Now they're intentionally withholding all of them from everyone who's not subscribed to Pro.

Would this patch have existed without the Pro program?

I think so. So far, haven't they only cherry-picked existing patches into their packages? Have they written any new patches yet?

Thanks, that explains things a bit better. It sounds like it's better to not use the universe repository at all in that case. I don't suppose I can just switch over to Debian for those packages, can I?
