and yet, pulseaudio was introduced in Hardy, the LTS release. I am using
Ubuntu since Dapper and frankly I can't really see the trend I expected:
much difference in innovation levels in LTS and ordinary releases. This
is good... and bad. I agree with the main points in your last message
prior to this one, but I would expect that a more conservative approach
in respect to LTS releases.

I actually think it makes sense to risk breaking things ordinary
releases. This gives the end user a snapshot of the best that has
happened in the world in the last 6 months (which seems to be a common
release cycle in the industry), in a moderately ready-to-use stable
package. I find it perfect for my personal needs, and I recommend it for
most domestic users I personally know. This is IMO currently well done,
and I find that the ocasional bump comes with the territory, as long as
it is properly documented with a suitable workaround ASAP.

I just join the choir in the PulseAudio argument, in that it was
introduced (IMHO) in Ubuntu 6 months ahead of schedule.
