While I do think this project is very interesting, I'm a bit curious
of the rational of using a non-LTS release as your base for this.

My own personal experience as a sysadmin in a work-environment, as
opposed to my own personal home-environment, is that users tends to
dislike having to go throught OS upgrades very year, with all the
headaches in a production environment these upgrades bring.

Wouldn't it be better to sell your customer a "product" based on a LTS
release, with the understanding they will need to upgrade only in 2-3
years, and every couple of years afterward.   If you give them a
Jaunty-based environment,  then they will already be only 1-year away
from an upgrade to another Ubuntu version.
