It's the last thing this list is good for.

hehe. At least when replying to the digest getting it down to the
relevant message seems prudent.

To be fair, ubuntu has really grown based on "innovation" which is one
of those things thats hard to quantify.   But if you go back a few
releases and see the differences, it's clear that this aspect has some
value.

But I have always considered "LTS" to be kind of a joke anyway.  I
mean, if you have no support contract, what obligation does
Ubuntu/Canonical have to support you, long term or otherwise?
Contractually, the answer is zero, regardless of which release cycle
you use.
