Ars Technica, a news site well known not only to Macintosh  
enthusiasts, discusses Ubuntu's time-centric release strategy:

ready-for-synchronized-release-cycles.html>

I wonder why there is so much emhasis on releases at all. For me,  
releases are just a bundle of changes in fashion. Prefer Gnome 2.2  
over Gnome 2.0, prefer ext3 over ext2 and so on. Nevertheless, any  
set of installed packages should work, dependencies take care of  
impossible combinations.
