One thing to think about on this list is that most people talking on
it are the people that are the devs, programmers and hobbyists. The
people doing work with *ubuntu are off working and the average user is
only here when they need help (for a newbie that is into banking or
art and not computers, this is a really boring read!). I think it is
obvious that *ubuntu is meant to be stable first and cutting edge
second. Alpha, beta and rc are meant to be used by the helpers to find
bugs. The bugs should be gone by final. As we all know, no one is
perfect and some last minute bugs end up getting fixed in final.
