"Dapper was not updated in the way our users expected," Woodford said.
"Personally, I think the Ubuntu people spoke sincerely and accurately,
but perhaps ambiguously. So there was a misunderstanding among users.
The fact is Dapper was updated with security fixes, but not with new
versions of the applications."


I can only wonder how one can invest lots of time to base MEPIS on
Dapper without ever reading up on the LTS cycle. Does not exactly give
me confidence in their love of detail.
