We all remembered the failure of Hardy as LTS.

Bleeding edge sound server Pulseaudio as default (sound horror). Stupid 
decision imo to implement such a thing in a LTS release. Beta version of 
Firefox installed (browsing horror). Stupid decision imo to release a 
LTS with a beta browser.

At that time the public opinion about Windows Vista was very negative, 
but Ubuntu missed the chance there and released a LTS version which was 
not ready for the Desktop. The pulseaudio problems are not even really 
solved atm (many maudio cards didn't work with pulseaudio on Ubuntu 
9.10). Let's pray they have fixed it when Lucid comes out and that they 
never ever will such Hardy mistakes again!

There are signs that they learned a bit. Lucid seems to be based on 
Debian testing and JACK seems to be in main now, which makes it more 
easy to use Jack with pulseaudio for instance...
