</div>How about the release process itself? Ubuntu Desktop has freeze<br>
periods for it's 6-monthly releases while Ubuntu Touch just<br>
steamrolls* right through. This causes some impedance mismatch for<br>
packages which are both part of the phone and the desktop, such as<br>
webbrowser-app, and this is only going to get worse as more and more<br>
packages converge.<br>
<br>
What is the solution? Will we make the desktop roll? Will we subject<br>
the phone to freezes? I don't know which approach is superior but the<br>
only thing that's certain is that the current situation has the worst<br>
of both: desktop freeze slows down phone development, and phone<br>
development destabilizes the desktop freezes.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm fairly certain Robert A didn't mean process changes here. That's a different topic and suggest we keep it as such. </div><div>
