The argument for rolling release in a nutshell.

• otterley 13y ago
  I prefer the "we bottle no wine before its time" model. It's one of the many reasons I prefer EL distributions to Ubuntu.

    14.04 is an LTS version of ubuntu though.

      ... which unfortunately means you're stuck with whatever's broken.

        Not necessarily. It can be fixed in point releases. This has happened before.
        • otterley 13y ago
          I've only seen bug fixes in LTS releases, not changes in functionality that would address significant issues (at least under 10.04 and 12.04). Any significant change would be in a point release (e.g. 14.10) which is not LTS - so you can't have your cake and eat it too under this model.

        Sorry, i misunderstood your comment - i read "EL distributions of ubuntu" and thought you were using EL to mean LTS.
