How is pulling the entire image because of this acceptable in any way? Slap a fat warning on the site if you want, but don’t throw off people’s schedule by doing this.
Comment on Why You Can't Currently Download Ubuntu 23.10 - OMG! Ubuntu

We have identified hate speech from a malicious contributor in some of our translations submitted as part of a third party tool outside of the Ubuntu Archive. The Ubuntu 23.10 image has been taken down and a new version will be available once the correct translations have been restored.
Saved you a click.

Nah, I’m fine with this. This is the translation of the installer. It’s literally the first thing a new user sees. This cannot remain available for download.

It’s their product. It doesn’t meet their standards, so they’re pulling the release to make changes.
I highly doubt anybody’s workflow relies upon this specific version of Linux to operate. Might suck if you are missing out by not using the latest and greatest Linux distribution, but if you need this version and don’t have a service contract in place (do they even offer any?), it’s not on them to meet your expectations.

do they even offer any?
On non-LTS releases? Almost certainly not.
You're 100% on the money, if a broken non-LTS release - which you can still upgrade to from an earlier release with
do-release-upgrade, or install from the server ISO thenapt installthe UI - something has already gone horribly wrong, and a couple of days wait for a re-released ISO is by far the least of your problems.

From the article: About 75% of the file is normal but the rest is a barrage of unsubtle, offensive sentences relating to politics, sexuality, and current events. The text is crude, provocative, and highly inflammatory – we’re not talking nuanced, fringe political opinions here.

Not only is it acceptable in “any way”, it’s the only acceptable way to handle it

Seems completely appropriate and acceptable.
