[Ubuntu-be] Why burn Ubuntu Dapper-CD's when Edgy is stable enough?

[Annelies Bollen]

Not all users want the fact that they need to upgrade every six months.
Remember that most of the users are used to Windows, where you don't 
have to upgrade every 6 months (they would probably make you pay for 
that to).
As you said yourself during an upgrade a lot of things could go wrong 
and why bother people with that at all? They can use Dapper for the 
duration of 3 years without having to bother with anything...
And Dapper ís the LTS. To my recollection there is no other version of 
Dapper out there.
And at the computerfair at Mechelen we had both cd's of Edgy and Dapper. 
So I don't really see the problem.

(this email is well intentioned and may come of strong due to lack of 
sleep and a whole day of programming, sorry)
