>However, controlling the release of pre-alpha software that doesn't work very well on existing hardware seems like a very good idea to me. I disagree. Releasing as early and as often as possible, not matter the state of the project, is a fundamental basic of open source development. I somewhat trust Canonical to uphold the ideals of Free Software, even though I am severely disappointed in their products lately (the only thing they've done/announced recently that I thought is a really good idea was the HUD). I don't hold this against them for this reason, but I don't think it's a very good decision, either.
