Still needed. Installing Y PPA Manager every-time consumes more time than using Launchpad.

Still needed. Why is it so difficult to implement simple filter?

It probably isn't very difficult, but this is a low-priority bug and we have a great deal of higher-priority things to do at the moment. I'll add a tag to note that it would be a good thing for people relatively new to the codebase to try.

Moving from Triaged to Confirmed is a backwards step. Please stop doing that - it's not a helpful way to nag us.

How long? Please fix this bug. I do not have Y PPA Manager on every machine.
