Unfortunately, no matter the context, whichever/whoever is perceived
to be the one out in front is the one that gets shot at. I hope nobody
TRULY expects Ubuntu to be flawless, but within the Ubuntu arena,
those afraid of the "bleeding edge" should stick to LTS releases to
minimize the pain.

Ubuntu has been very good about supporting LTS releases. I have a PPC
system running Dapper, and it is still getting security updates.

P.S.: The article exhibits several logical flaws, as others have
pointed out. I hope the author recognizes the flaws and strives to
improve. As can we all!
