You shouldn't call Breezy a STABLE release if you treat it like that. What I'm
facing on my laptop is a huge stability issue, so i'd rather call breezy SECURE
than STABLE, in this case. Go on. Of course, being the sole user of this laptop,
I care about local root exploits much less than about the fact, that I cannot
close a lid of my laptop (or run out of battery charge) without having to cold
reboot my beautiful white notebook with its beautiful and STABLE brown OS. But
sure, that's just me. Who cares. Linux won the desktop already, yeah, sure.

Yes, I have dapper with Xfce on my DELL Pentium3 desktop at home. No thanks, I
don't yet want it to be my main OS. First, I was facing displaced icons on each
and every GUI widget, regardless of it belonging to Qt or GTK. Now, I cannot
install xterminal which I had to remove during dist-upgrade because of its
broken dependencies. And Xfce Panel keeps crashing. No, thanks, really. What I
want is a stable OS. And what I want is stability updates to be provided along
with security updates. And I believe that for desktops, paranoid security is
often much less important than stability.

And BTW, If I wanted so much to compile and tweak my system a lot, I'd probably
go Gentoo. I use Ubuntu because I like its defaults. And by annoingly asking to
fix this stability bug in a release that is claimed to be stable, I just want
Ubuntu to be better, not more bloated.
