Thats a misrepesentation.

Canonical isn't funding large new features right now (there are other fish to fry in the short term). This != 'stopped'.

Maintenance is continuing, in the same structure with the same resources (a full squad) that its had for quite some time.

Escalated bugs are still being accepted, but the queue / WIP limit for them has been hit: to put another bug into the escalated queue requires the stakeholders as a whole to remove one (or for one to be completed by the maintenance squad). The Ubuntu LP Stakeholder is entirely capable of undertaking that negotiation on the stakeholders list.

The assigned importance on this bug is 'low' for the LP team itself, which is accurate: its not escalated, its not a regression and its not on the (admittedly short) roadmap. Marking it 'Won't Fix' would be saying that patches would not be welcomed: this is false, patches for it would indeed be welcomed.
