OpenVPN NM plugin opening tens of windows asking password when not using the system and then the NM applet crashing. The backport fixed it.

I backported it from focal to fix an annoying bug.

Thanks, could you please explain this bug?

Why is there an updated version of Network-manager in your PPA?!

This explains certain issues in performance.

I don't understand what you mean, can you clarify?
The compilation issue was anyway fixed days ago, as you can see from the linked bug and on the PPA.
If you have a performance issue I suggest to report it here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/new

Is there a way to revert drivers back to a certain date? For example, say I wanted to install the PPA drivers (for INTEL) from the first week of March 2020 for BIONIC. Is there a mechanism to do that?

I don't know a way to use older packages.

PPA for 19.04 (disco) is obsoleted (it is End of Life since January). Packages will be removed from the PPA in the next days. If you are still using it purge the PPA, upgrade to 19.10 (eoan) and add again the PPA.

Mesa builds are temporarily suspended due to a broken llvm-toolchain-10 package, inherited from Debian. Once this will be fixed, I'll re-enable the builds.

Temporarily reverted to llvm9, until llvm10 will get a fix.
