<pre wrap="">Are you required by Ubuntu to create a LTS?
To me a LTS is not really high priority on this great Gnome distribution,
as the main reason for selecting Ubuntu GNOME is newest Gnome release.
I think people looking for a LTS will go for regular Ubuntu - what do you
think?

Ren?

I hadn't ever really thought of that... I think that maybe the
logic behind the LTS is that we should be as official and stable
as possible. If we don't do the LTS, less people may feel
comfortable using the OS. If we do the LTS, people can still add
the latest version of GNOME if they want it (

I hear what you're saying though. I think the choice here is
between being a more official distro and being more of an
experiment.<br>

Well there are people such as myself who maintain a fairly large
number of computers and simply can't upgrade them all every 6
months, thus LTS which means Long Term Support is quite attractive.
I currently have 51 computers running 12.04.<br>
<br>
Ultimately it will be up to Tim to decide if we can do an LTS or not
and I'm cool with that, I consider him our own personal SABDFL :^)<br>
<br>
If we can do an LTS that would be great, but if we can't it's not
the end of the world ;^)<br>
