Yes, a rehash is so much worse than releasing stuff that is *worse* than
what came before. Obviously I disagree -- I think that there is a real
problem with the idea that "newer is better" -- I believe that better is
better -- and sometimes that means it's newer, and sometimes that means
waiting until the newer item is actually better. 

Ubuntu shouldn't be focused on being newer, it should be focused on
being better -- if it's not better, bug #1 doesn't /deserve/ to be
closed.
