I would like to iterate backporting milestone releases like FireFox 1.0
would be a plus and imho keep alot of people from upgrading to unstable;
which could cause more problems.  Keeping the general user base in a
stable release should be good; although most folks I talk to in #ubuntu
on freenode are either running Hoary or are trying to upgrade to Hoary.

Something like Debian's backports system come to mind.
